Album Info

Release Date: 1985

Label: Alternative Tentacles

Inital copies included a poster of "Work 219: Landscape XX" (also known as "Penis Landscape") by Swiss artist HR Giger and a sticker on the shrinkwrap with the tracklist and a (sarcastic) warning note. An Alternative Tentacles catalog insert was also included.

The ensuing controversy resulted in the poster being removed from later copies. These included a poster order form / PMRC info insert, and the sticker was stamped "Banned" in red. Some later copies still included the poster.


This version's identifying points include:
- dark chocolate red AT label (vs repress versions' bright burgundy).
- "45" on AT label in a small font.
- rounded upper corners on inner sleeve.
- No "Made in Canada" on inner sleeve.

A repress exists with identical runouts but different details: Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist

Track times do not appear on release.
