Edited 10 months agoIt's really odd times we live in. To all of us it was crystal clear that (even without the even more clear title on the 2nd edition) the original cover-art wasn't anything right-wing. hitzeschockprotein wrote below that it had been banned from the German market, certainly not back then, seems wrong, neither do I find proof nor does it compute since there has been a second issue.
Having said that, today's legislation in has it that it would be considered illegal to display it or sell it, because "inverted" Nazi-symbolic that to a (rather dull) observer would equal the anyway forbidden original is now included.
An oddity as a part of it, when I researched this album like a year ago or so (partly because I wanted THIS sleeve) with google-search, there had been hundreds of pictures while now there are none.
I am very happy to have a copy.
Musicwise I find it good enough to listen occasionally, nothing spectacular though.
A more elaborate description you may find with the second issue which is the one I have. -
The inverted swastikon was meant to invert the inhumanity of the nazi-regime. Whoever it evoked this album to be banned for the German market, and also lead to the final split-up of the band, because not all band agreed to the cover design.
