ryanf23 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Did any CDs get pressed in 1987 with the appetite banned cover or was it only LPs? i see on eBay lots of Brazilian sellers selling appetite cd with banned cover. Was there ever a first press CD with banned cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtydane Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm pretty sure there weren't. At least not in the states.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there ever a first press CD with banned cover? CD's? I don't think so.......vinyl yes and i believe cassette tapes too, but don't think CDs were pressed with the banned cover. Tidbit....the original pressing vinyls and cassettes were labeled side G and R as opposed to the standard A and B Edited August 7, 2016 by tsinindy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEPTEM Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I got an original 1988 cassette with the banned cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 My brother has a t shirt showing the original cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrichmond Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I have the original cover on vinyl which i bought on release but could only buy the cd with the cross at that time.In England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanf23 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 It sounds like it was never originally released on CD with banned cover but has always been the cross tatoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) It's most likely a bootleg. I'm think this is the only alternate cover pressed on CD? (the cross on the inside/collage on the cover) Edited August 7, 2016 by Gordon Comstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is original from 1988 (I had a cassette before that- got the big upgrade to a CD player Xmas '87), and that's how it came. Collage was on the front.

Gackt Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I took a look on discogs, and couldn't find any CD pressings back in the day that used the original cover..but, a new reissue has the cover as an alternate insert https://www.discogs.com/Guns-N-Roses-Appetite-For-Destruction/release/8551920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of those too but I swear I've got one that's reversed. I just moved so my CD's are still in a box but I think there's 2 versions?

Stress Fracture Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Dunno about 1987 pressings but the only time I've seen it on CD is the Japanse mini LP release that come with both sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yumbeen Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 CDS only in Japan in 1987. All brazilian AFD cds are fake. Don't buy them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
