A nice early European/UK release of Appetite, with the original uncensored sleeve. Two stickers to front, one referring to the singles, and one about offensive language.
Vinyl looks very nice.
Check out my photos. Any questions please ask.
"Appetite for Destruction is the debut studio album by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses, released on July 21, 1987, by Geffen Records. It initially received little mainstream attention, and it was not until the following year that Appetite for Destruction became a commercial success, after the band had toured and received significant airplay with the singles "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City", and "Sweet Child o' Mine". The album went on to peak at number one on the US Billboard 200, and it became the seventh best-selling album of all time in the United States, as well as the best-selling debut album in the country. With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, it is also one of the best-selling albums worldwide."

This release features the original album artwork (showing Robert Williams' painting of a girl being raped by robots), which was later withdrawn and replaced with a tattoo-styled, skulls-and-crossbones motif.
The UK catalogue number appears on the back cover and spine (unlike on Appetite For Destruction, where it appears only on the centre labels).
There is another very similar release which included a sheet of Japanese peel-off stickers (see Appetite For Destruction).
Issued in a regular cardboard sleeve embossed with the Warner 'W' logo. Some copies feature a white sticker with black text reading "CONTAINS LYRICS WHICH SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND OFFENSIVE". Some copies also feature a black sticker with red and white text reading "INCLUDES THE SINGLES SWEET CHILD O'MINE AND WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE".
Includes a printed inner-sleeve with lyrics, credits and photographs of the band members. Some copies includes a white Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction sticker (924 148-1).
All runouts are stamped except the few characters at the end of the matrix strings, which are hand-etched.
