Description
THIS ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED IN APRIL 1966 AND RELEASED ON MARCH 12, 1967.
ORIGINAL COPIES OF THE ALBUM WITH THE BANANA PEEL STICKER ARE NOW CONSIDERED RARE.
THOUGH LARGELY IGNORED ON RELEASE THE RECORD HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL
AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ROCK ALBUMS IN HISTORY.
ERIC EMERSON'S IMAGE WAS PICTURED UPSIDE DOWN ON THE WALL BEHIND THE BAND.
ERIC THREATENED TO SUE OVER USE OF HIS IMAGE UNLESS HE WAS PAID.
RATHER THAN COMPLY, MGM RECALLED ALL THAT HAD BEEN PRINTED ALREADY.
A BLACK STICKER WAS ATTACHED COVERING THE ACTOR'S IMAGE AND REDISTRIBUTED.
LATER COPIES WERE RELEASED WITH THE ACTOR'S IMAGE AIRBRUSHED OUT TO AVOID THE LAWSUIT.
AFTER THE LAWSUIT THREAT, MGM PULLED THE RECORD BACK FOR SIX WEEKS TO ATTACH THE BLACK STICKERS.
THE COPY OF THE ALBUM FOR SALE HERE IS THE FIRST PRESSING WITH BLACK STICKER ATTACHED.
THE RECORD ON THE ORIGINAL VERVE LABEL # V-5008 IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR SCUFFING.
JACKET IS IN VG CONDITION WITH SMALL PIECE OF BANANA MISSING. (SEE PICTURE)
BLACK STICKER SHOWS SIGNS OF SOMEONE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE TO EXPOSE TORSO UNDERNEATH,
BUT IS LARGELY INTACT. (SEE PICTURE)
ALBUM INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE AS PICTURED.
DON'T MISS THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF ROCK HISTORY!
