Description

You are looking at an original Gun's N' Roses Appetite For Destruction with the robotic rapist cover. This record is still sealed in its original plastic shrink wrap. The UPC Code is 0 7599-24148-1 4. Below the UPC Code it reads "Also Available on Cassette And Compact Disc" Below that is the Geffen Records label and Uzi Suicide label, and below that is the sticker that reads "Contains Language Which May Be Unsuitable for Some Listeners GHS 24148" This sticker is both on the front and back of the cover. The album's original cover art, based on the Robert Williams' painting "Appetite for Destruction", depicted a robotic rapist about to be punished by a metal avenger. After several music retailers refused to stock the album, the label compromised and put the controversial cover art inside, replacing it with an image depicting a cross and skulls of the five band members (designed by Billy White Jr., originally as a tattoo), each skull representing one member of the band: Izzy Stradlin, top skull; Steven Adler, left skull; Axl Rose, center skull; Duff McKagan, right skull; and Slash, bottom skull. The photographs used for the back of the album and liner notes were taken by Robert John. The original cover was supposed to be on the 2008 re-pressing of the vinyl, though the record label replaced it with the "Skulls" art at the last minute.[13] The re-pressing of the vinyl, though, is the first Guns N' Roses release to have the Parental Advisory label printed on the artwork; previously, like on the CD, this was a sticker on the cellophane wrap and later (on the CD and cassette releases) on the case itself. This record is mint and has never been opened and this record was bought in Southern California. I will make sure it is shipped to you mint as well by placing it in a larger box and packing it with shipping peanuts. If you have any questions please let me know and I will get back to you. Thanks again for looking and please take a look at my other two Gun's N' Roses items.
