1978 VERSION B2 [SEE BELOW] REISSUE
Discreet Records K 69204
- 12-inch 33rpm, 10-track double vinyl LP
- made in the UK
- with gatefold sleeve
- originally in 1977 a quantity of vinyl copies of this double album were released with the track "Punky's Whips" included on both the sleeve listing, the label & the recording, as follows:
A-Side: 1. Titties & Beer; 2. I Promise Not To Come In Your Mouth; 3. Punky's Whips.
B-Side: 1. Sofa; 2. Manx Needs Women; 3. The Black Page Drum Solo/Black Page #1; 4. Big Leg Emma; 5. Black Page #2.
This issue was withdrawn by Warner Brothers, who considered its homoerotic reference to Angel guitarist Punky Meadows in "Punky's Whips" & "Titties And Beer" to be potentially litigious.  In March 1978, the album was officially released in censored form, with "Punky's Whips" deleted from the A-Side recordings as follows:
A-Side: 1. Titties & Beer ["Punky" references edited out]; 2. I Promise Not To Come In Your Mouth; 3. Big Leg Emma.
B-Side: 1. Sofa; 2. Manx Needs Women; 3. The Black Page Drum Solo/Black Page #1; 4. Black Page #2.
However, the original sleeve was initially used; until being replaced by a reprint showing the revised/correct track order.  The first revised pressing had "RE-1" etched on the run-out.  Effectively, these issues can be identified as:
- version A: uncensored recording & uncensored sleeve credits
- version B: censored recording & uncensored sleeve credits
- version B2: censored recording & uncensored sleeve back credits, but censored credits on inner spread
- version C: censored recording & censored sleeve credits

VINYL CONDITION: 1. EXCELLENT 2. EXCELLENT
SLEEVE CONDITION: EXCELLENT
:
GRADINGS: MINT: Brand new, un-played and completely sealed in shrink-wrapped
NEAR MINT: Although previously owned, the vinyl itself looks new and un-played in appearance without surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.  It will not skip or jump.  The labels will be clean without spindle marks or any other damage
The sleeve and any extra items such as inserts or inners are in near to perfect condition
EXCELLENT: The vinyl will show one or two mild signs of having been used, such as a couple of very fine hairline surface marks or possibly a light scuff but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  It will not skip or jump.  The labels will be clean with no other damage; although there maybe the possibility of mild spindle marks under light inspection
The outer & inner sleeves will have no splits, sticker damage or writing, but may carry signs of light shelf rub and marking, sticker shadow or thin laminate removal, slight general edge scuffs, together with possibly the odd very mild crease or stubbed corner 
VERY GOOD: The vinyl has obviously been played a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite having a number of light but noticeable hairline surface marks.  It will not skip or jump, however the vinyl may emit some light surface crackle or the occasional 'click' or 'pop'.  The labels will be 'EXCELLENT' as described above
Average wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without having any major defects such as edge splits, sticker damage or tears is permissible
PLEASE NOTE: I will not be selling any records in this shop that fall below the 'VERY GOOD' grading standard
