Notice that shirts are only available in XL. Kids used to wear their clothing super phat back then.

Lord, sir, those photos = very lovely.
Quick question: how were those covers printed? I do not think these were colour photocopies because: A: they don't look like anything I have ever seen that came out of a colour copier ever and B: I don't know what kind of color copier would take those thick cardstocks and C: as you can see from the the light purple cover, the green is not aligned properly so it must have been printed separately
The only reason I am asking because it said these were colour photocopies on discogs (under the confusion covers I think, which are printed with EXACT SAME technique as these) and I changed it to: printed, definitely not photocopied so that someone doesn't buy a boot that's obviously colour copied. Soon after I received a message, probably from the person who originally wrote these were photocopies, insisting on the fact that they were in fact photocopies and that I should change it back. I emailed Tim to ask. Until now he was kind enough to write me back every time over the years but this time no response. Anyone? I stick to the "not a photocopy" theory.

Another idea: When I was in the secondary school I used a copy place that had a regular black copier but you could change the toner in it and it would print in another colour like red/blue/green I think (one at a time). It might be possible that these were run on that kind of photocopier. First black, then change toner and the green bit? I suppose that could fly...
Edit: Then again, I don't think that copier would work with those think cardstocks. It was jamming all the time with regular paper...
Edit II: I also believe that 1st press of the Turning Point 7" was printed using the same technique on the same/similar machines. It's the same kind of smeary ink that makes the other, unprinted side of the paper dirty. Those were done at KINKOS I think?? Someone said in some interview? Does anybody remember if KINKOS used some sort of smeary ink printers which could run separate colours and worked with heavier cardstock?

Its called offset printing. You use different printing plates for each ink color, which when not done professionally (these were done in a school print shop by kids) each cover can look a little different with the colors aligning differently. Similar to silkscreening but different. Turning Point covers and inserts for the first press - same thing

Thanks! Dobek- hearing your questions about the printing technique reminded me of something else Tim had shared with me along that subject.... Just like Dave said, these covers were all offset printed in a printing class, but before that Tim had actually done a test using a color photocopier. Here's a 1/1 test that Tim has in his collection. These are not my pics but I did get his permission to share them: Pretty odd looking! So yeah, there actually does exist ONE color photocopied Chain X Crew sleeve!

Turning Point covers and inserts for the first press - same thing They might be risograph pints, which are similar to photocopies but are printed with ink instead of toner. You run one color at a time like a traditional printing press. A school might be more likely to have that machine than an actual offset press. It would also explain why the print quality on the textured papers kinda sucks.

I recently bought 3 copies without sleeve in a recordshop, they were sitting there like forever and made an offer to the owner. Traded one of those copies with Tim for chain crew #88.
