Kevin Cummins is the Manchester photographer known for his work with rock bands and musicians such as  Mick Jagger, Ian Curtis, Joy Division, Morrissey, Courtney Love, Patti Smith, and David Bowie and, of course, Frank Sidebottom and The Freshies.
From Wikipedia:
Cummins studied photography in Salford.  He started photographing rock bands in the mid-1970s in Manchester.  Cummins had a 25-year association with the NME, including 10 years as their chief photographer.  He has photographed numerous bands and musicians including Joy Division, Manic Street Preachers, The Clash, Sex Pistols, R.E.M., U2, Patti Smith, Marc Bolan, The Smiths, Roisin Murphy, Oasis, Foo Fighters, Michael Hutchence, The Stone Roses and Buzzcocks. His images have been seen as a contributing factor in the rise of the Madchester and Cool Britannia scenes.
Cummins was instrumental in establishing City Life, Manchester's what's on guide and was a founding contributor to The Face, the influential style magazine where he won an award for Magazine Cover of the Year.
This is a unique artifact of the life and times of Frank Sidebottom and it’s in excellent condition.

CONDITION AND GRADING NOTE:
Thank you for looking at my listing.  
I aim to be accurate with my gradings.  I have been buying and selling records for over 40 years so have experience in identifying and describing condition of vinyl.  My feedback reflects the fact that I try very hard to deliver a good buying experience.
Unless otherwise stated, all the records I sell are previously owned and used.  They are visually - not aurally - graded using, as a guide, the Record Collector system.  If I am in doubt about the condition of the record, I do not list it.
RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD:  The record has been played to the point where the sound quality may have noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR:  The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
