Appetite For Destruction

Overview

Appetite For Destruction --- 1987

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the original album artwork (showing Robert Williams' painting of a girl being raped by robots), which was later withdrawn and replaced with a tattoo-styled, skulls-and-crossbones motif.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 [r=2861999], where it appears only on the centre labels). There is another very similar release which included a sheet of Japanese peel-off stickers (see [r=504072]). 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. [Inner sleeve:] Recorded at Rumbo Studios, Canoga Park, CA. Take One Studio, Burbank, CA.
