Badmotorfinger

Original US pressing with the initial artwork before they prompty ditched it. This US version of the cover differs slightly from the Dutch pressing Badmotorfinger and the Brazilian pressing Badmotorfinger (see pic of barcode area). From Soundgardens facebook page: ‘Originally, BMF was scheduled to be released on September 24th, the same day as Nirvana’s Nevermind. However, when the album jackets were printed, the band was super disappointed with the artwork. The pastel color selection resembled “sweet tarts” candy, chalk, or children’s chewable vitamins. The A&M president agreed and supported us by having the cover redone by their art dept. and overseen by Kim. The initial print run was sent to markets where fewer heavy rock records were sold. The album’s release date was subsequently pushed back to October 8th’. Came with b&w lyric insert. Promo copies were stamped with gold ink reading "Lent for Promotional Use Only Any Sale or Unauthorized Transfer is Prohibited and Void Subject to Return Upon Demand by Owner Acceptance of This Record Constitutes Agreement to the Above" on top of the barcode.
