I don't think it's worth any money...not much anyway. I wanna get my hands on the skull/cross one here in australia....But when I got my ass into a record store they only had the "rare" rape robot one... :devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mable Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 It isn´t rare and not so much worth of money. About 30-40 $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Yeah, I just bought a copy with the banned cover for $26.99Cdn. Brand new and in the shrink wrap. You can find lots of these on ebay and they don't go for much, so it's not what I'd call rare.The one I bought was imported (it had a sticker with this on it). As I understand it, the cover was banned in the U.S. and Canada and maybe some other countries, which would mean that the initial U.S. and Canadian printings could be rare, but the ones from other countries where it wasn't banned are obviously not. I do wonder if you have a copy which was intended for sale in the U.S. with the banned cover, if that is worth anything. Those copies would definitely be rare.No matter what, it's still a cool item to own if you are in a country where it's not in large supply.

Nostalgia^ Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Thanks for the the respone...I havent received it yet, im trading with a friend,not ebay.Actually I dont know if it´s an original printing from the US and Canada.....I doubt it tho. I didnt know that they released so many quantities of the original album outside US, I thought that if it was banned over there, the original sleeve might not have seen the ligt elsewhere, in Europe etc.But still a very nice cover, it´s brilliant, I definetaly prefer it over the skull heads on the cross.
