Side four Serj's poem, as follows:

"★Contraband contradictions, concocting contractions conceding to caucasian caucases causing casual conclusions concerning inconclusive karma, masking masochistic mosquito massages in masculine mosques, a must see mosaic ! Take your tartar sauce, and your Tinseltown tactics to a Tic-Tac filled trumpet and blow. Enjoy the eloquent essence of esoteric engines humming in Ecstasy, Etc. Actual arctic acronyms were asked to ascertain the astral auspices of acting astericks, that's ass! She sells sea shells BUY THE REAL WH★RE !"

    My copy (bought secondhand) does not have "For Promotional Use Only" boxed in the top-right corner as pictured in photo number 7. It also does not have the hype sticker of the track listing but does have the same insert pictured. Were there perhaps a Promo version as well as an official version? I searched all over my copy and didn't find a single mention of it being a Promo.

      This is the absolute definitive way to listen to this classic album. Brilliant separation, perfect balance of treble, mid and bass, highly detailed, warm and full found. Several standard black records in my collection don’t hold a candle to the quality of this picture disc. Easily the greatest sound I’ve ever heard from a picture disc.
