First Release
The original cover was a Robert Williams' painting titled "Appetite for Destruction" (1978) for which the album is named. Only 30,000 copies were printed worldwide. The album featured a warning label that reads, "Contains language which may be unsuitable for some listeners," and has CRS 24143 beneath the warning on the sticker. Most record distributors and feminist groups thought the cover was demeaning to women because of the rape scene, so some record stores refused to sell it. It wasn't until 1989 when the media complained of the artwork and the lyrics of the song 'One In A Million' that the artwork was banned.
