Description

Scan of both sides of the album cover for The Five's single "Act of Contrition." The top side shows an upturned hand with stigmata holding a burning cigarette. "33 1/2 rpm" is written upside down in the bottom left corner. The Five's address - PO Box 7558 Pgh PA 15213 - appears upside down in the bottom right corner.
