Description
SUPERB! RARE! WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED THE PICTURE OF 'WR PHANG DENTAL SURGEON' UPSET THE REAL MR PHANG WHO WAS NOT HAPPY THAT A PICTURE OF HIS SURGERY WAS ON THE COVER AND HE DEMANDED ITS REMOVAL. EMI QUICKLY DESPATCHED STICKERS TO ALL RETAILERS TO COVER UP THIS IMAGE AND SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS HAD A DIFFERENT IMAGE (THE STICKER IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE SLEEVE ITSELF). SOME COPIES HAD ALREADY BEEN SOLD BEFORE THE STICKER WAS DELIVERED AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE...THE RARE UNCENSORED UNSTICKERED PHANG SLEEVE!
