Album cover

The album cover is based on the cover photo of the Super Bicentennial Edition of Hustler Magazine from July 1976 on the occasion of the bicentenary of the United States' Declaration of Independence . It shows a female abdomen wearing bikini briefs in the design of the USA flag. Because you can see pubic hair above the bikini (see web links ), some American dealers refused to put the album on their shelves. Therefore, a defused version was published in which only the bikini fabric was shown against a black background.
