Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction LP, Sealed 1st Pressing, Uncensored ORIGINAL SEAL
RARE SEALED CUTOUT
Guns N' Roses, 'Appetite for Destruction' (1987) The
album got its title from the Robert Williams painting that originally
served as its cover: a robotic rapist about to get its comeuppance from a
much larger robot predator.
After
complaints, the band replaced it with an image of its five members
rendered as skull heads. The controversy could have been worse: Axl Rose
originally wanted the cover to be a photo of the explosion of the space
shuttle Challenger.
The
original artwork for ‘Appetite For Destruction’ was a stomach-turningly
gruesome affair: an image based on the Robert Williams painting of the
same title, that depicts a girl with her pants round her ankles, a robot
rapist, and a metal avenging angel about to take revenge…
The band’s label, Geffen, had to whip up an alternative when several retailers refused to stock it.
