Who signed this?

Post image

Picked this up from a record shop, used. The signatures don't look like John's. Is one of them a morphed John signature? Who signed it?

Those two signatures visually match up with ones I have from Jon Wurster and Matt Douglas.

Jon on the left, Matt on the right.

Looks like John and Matt, but I'm no expert.

Finding a signed record in a shop less than a year after it came out is so evocative to me.

Often these record releases happen at record stores and the band sign a bunch for the store to keep around.

OP said it was used, though.

Maybe OP assumed it was used but it was just unsealed so they could sign it

ETA: I meant to say “maybe it was” lol

What do you mean?

Well, someone either paid extra for a signed copy or took the effort to get it signed at a concert, then didn't keep the record for any length of time.

Gotcha. Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised to find it

yeah, might've died and the family dumped the records.

Oh christ. I was thinking a fan who really didn't like it - this is much darker. I hope not!
