A weird promotional LP I picked up because it’s got a track by Labi Siffre (everyone has a price… or a contract enforceable by law).
I guess this was given out free to suppliers or partners of Philips to celebrate their manufacturing of the 100 millionth television. No doubt the old, boxy, CRT-type. It has lovely ‘pop-up’ bouquet of flowers inside the gatefold (as seen below), although it does feel a little funeral-like now.
