Notes
The title and lyrics of track B1 varies from American versions with "Macho-Rama" replacing "Jock-O-Rama".
Includes printed inner sleeve.
Recorded at Hyde St. studios, San Francisco.
Original version included "Penis Landscape," by Swiss artist H. R. Giger. Charges were filed against the band for "Selling pornography to minors". Much controversy ensued and the poster was ordered to be removed. Very few copies with this poster were distributed making them extremely rare collectibles.

The poster issue was ridiculous; if the picture was in an art gallery it would have been ok of course. I think the shop in Scotland I bought the album from had got some grief from the law about the poster. I did not get one. Glasgow Council, of course, in 1977 'banned' any groups playing live that they considered 'Punk'!

In my copy there is no poster but "Fuck Facts" Issue One. Did they put the newspaper instead of the poster in it?
Or did it first came out with "Bedtime for democracy"?
There is a Canadian issue (Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist) with poster and newspaper. But, I don't know, that makes no sense to me. Can someone help?
