Stop giving your records away! I appreciate it thoughNo, I want something I can also play in the car, which fortunately has a CD player (unlike my crappy van, which is radio or SD card only). I'll be down your way just as soon as fuel prices get their shit together, I've got some stuff for you which I know you'll like

It certainly has an offensive-looking cover. Not sure if the music would be to my taste.![]()

The proposed cover was of the space shuttle exploding but in 1987 that was deemed 'too soon' so it was replaced with the cover shown above.
Just like with Spinal Tap's 'Smell The Glove' a number of major retailers refused to stock the album and the cover was redesigned again although not until many of the original had made it into the wild. Having discovered the band about a year before the album was released I got it as soon as it came out so have the 'offensive' cover on my vinyl copy although these days just play the CD that has the below cover:
'They're just experimenting with new packaging, that's all'
'Experimenting? What does that mean? Have they got monkeys opening it or something?'
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > Troels Gravesen Faital 3WC-15.
In someways the new cover is, to me, just as bad. I dislike images of death's head, skeletons as much as I do of Christian iconography. I put up with 'momento mori' imagery as I like the work of The Greatful Dead, but since I don't like heavy metal, or death metal groups, I can largely avoid the motifs and symbolism.
I'm a fussy bugger at times!
