Description

Guns N’ Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Banned Original Robert Williams Cover Art
Still Factory SEALED Vinyl LP
Up for sale is this highly collectible edition of Guns N’ Roses’ groundbreaking debut album featuring the controversial original “banned” cover artwork by artist Robert Williams. This is the infamous painting that was pulled from shelves shortly after the 1987 release due to retailer complaints and controversy (depicting a robotic figure in a provocative scene). The iconic skulls/cross design replaced it on most standard releases, making this banned cover version a must-have for GNR collectors!
Details:
• Condition: Brand new, factory sealed. Never opened or played. Shrink wrap is intact.
• Format: 12” Vinyl LP (33 RPM)
• Label/Catalog: Geffen Records (varies by specific pressing – please check photos for exact matrix/runout info)
• Tracklist (classic): Welcome to the Jungle, It’s So Easy, Nightrain, Out Ta Get Me, Mr. Brownstone, Paradise City, My Michelle, Think About You, Sweet Child O’ Mine, You’re Crazy, Anything Goes, Rocket Queen
This is a fantastic piece for any rock vinyl collector, GNR fan, or fan of controversial album art. The banned cover adds serious rarity and conversation value to your collection. Perfect for display or as an investment-grade sealed item.
