FLESH & BLOOD COVER FEATURES RIKKI ROCKETT TATTOO WITH DRIPPING BLOOD / INK.

THIS COVER WAS BANNED. 

" The front cover of the album featured the Poison  and album title as a  on 's arm. The cover was originally planned to have a slightly different version of the tattoo cover that featured the tattoo after being freshly inked. This showed the skin as red and inflamed with dripping ink or blood. This cover was pulled though and instead a cleaned up tattoo was shown. The original cover was released for the initial pressing in  (AND AUSTRALIA) but was subsequently removed from all later pressings (including those in Japan (AND AUSTRALIA)".

" MAXICUT - A UNIQUE DISC CUTTING PROCESS
Maxicut is a name we at Studios 301 have applied to several modifications of our Neumann VMS-70 disc lathes. These modifications are contained on two printed circuit boards which replace the Neumann SV-66-V2 and TE-66 cards.
Maxicut is a process that allows us to cut lacquers at a significantly higher level, typically 6-8 dB (normally 1-2 dB), without the normal tracking problems that less expensive turntable/cartridge units usually exhibit in trying to track these higher levels .... Maxicut accomplishes this with no loss of the program signal .. "

TO SIMPLIFY IT "MAXICUT" MEANS LOUDER!!
