Any black magic up in your sleeves to remove ugly stickers like these. The Radio City sticker is paper. The other is/looks a bit metallic and is really tightly in place.
Without damaging the cover that is.

Exacto knife and "Goo Gone"? Maybe they don't have that in Finland though. |

As sucky as it is to have them on there... I would just leave them just in case. Modern Invasion used to put their damn stickers on everything and I fucked up a LP sleeve trying to take one off... Pain in the arse when people put those damn stickers on vinyl covers! _________________ Glorious Dawn Upon The Plateau Of Might Now Burns!!

Try with hot steam... from childhood I remember at least stamps came off the envelope quite easily this way. |

Endless Morbidity: Yeah, we donīt have it in here, what ever it is. We miss a lot of modern marvels ... heh
Itīs not an obsession for me to remove them, but my life is pretty boring so...
I became a bit cautious after tearing A.R.G. `s cover when removing a sticker. |

I am skeptical about using steam as the glue on stickers is of a different chemical composition than the one used for stamps.
Either a solvent like another poster suggested (though that might possibly damage the cover itself) or lots of patience and long fingernails or a knife, hehe. _________________ A nobody in a world of somebodies.

Instead of steam, use a hair blow dryer, as it works much better. |

^ I'd have said the same. The heat would soften the sticky stuff meaning it should peel off/ I'd be worried about the steam leaving some lasting effect on the cover. |
