“Inital copies included a poster of "Work 219: Landscape XX" (also known as "Penis Landscape") by Swiss artist [a=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: [r6982584] Track times do not appear on release.”
