What exactly is this?
I'm going to sound really stupid because it's probably something really obvious, but I just can't remember what exactly it is?

When the album came out I don't remember seeing one like this.

The cover UK supermarkets put on it so as not to upset the little kiddies.

For what it's worth, even this looks better than most MSP album cover art.

Some supermarkets deemed the artwork offensive so they put a slipcase over it

Ah!! Of course! I knew it was something blatantly obvious, I just couldn't work it out. Interesting, I never got to see it at the time.

Thanks!!

To be honest, I think that's a far superior cover to the real one.
