Alister Jones was recorded in 1967 when NS was 14 years of age.

The original Looking Glass album was in a plain white card sleeve with a smallish yellow (with black writing) square stuck on to the front. Underneath was an individual hand written message and signature. Every message was different. The albums had white labels, mostly a kind of off-white with a pinkish tinge.
Nick also scratched a message into the run-out grooves, these were (according Nick's memory) 'lymph gland' and 'anublian heglon'.
There was also a booklet included which was a spoof rare record list full of fake rare albums, which is really funny to this day.

Reckless re-issued it on vinyl, but with a totally different sleeve (see above) and proper labels. Anything else is a bootleg.
