 | TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | I thought I should post this before going ahead and uploading my copy of Pye Chartbusters volume 1: The font cover is a brazen shot of a topless model - nothing arty about it, just a page 3-style photo. Would this violate any site rules, or does anyone object? It will be on the main page for all to see, of course. |

Will do. There is in fact a very rare alternative sleeve but my image of it is so low-res I don't think it would work for the main image. Also, it's practically unknown, whereas the "big lass" sleeve is on 99.9 percent of copies - so I think that should stay. I'll load the LP up in the next 10 mins and you can consider whether it needs hiding. |

| TheJudge In-house specialist in drive-by moddings. Member since Dec 2012 3715 Points Moderator | Fine. I've rejigged it so that, a) the alternative cover has been given precedence and b) that the 'pointed' version won't show as a thumbnail. |

| GeneRobertson Member since Jan 2013 61 Points | What's really funny is that these LPs were ostensibly aimed at teenagers who probably couldn't afford the singles and therefore bought cover versions. My mum would have swiped me if I had bought this home as a teen! I've also noticed that subsequent volumes of Pye Chartbusters all featured a tasteful non-nude shot. Guess there must have been widespread objection to the Nicola Austin cover. Edited by GeneRobertson on 21st Dec 2013, 9:26 PM |

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I gather the problem came more from retailers unwilling to stock it. Not entirely sure. I know when Top of the Pops featured a model in a see-through top, there were complaints. Seems relatively tame by modern standards, but as you say, these were as much for kids as adults. |

| Whyperion SUBS Too Many Records , Too Little Time Member since Jan 2013 306 Points | Maybe the low royalties on the tracks to the performers meant the cover photo subjects couldn't afford a full wardrobe either. The number of Big 'D' peanuts my dad used to bring home in the 1970s would fill a 33ovened fruit bowl. |

Funnily enough, the two are not unconnected. (Subjects, that is, not the lady's "eyes".) See notes here. |
