Notes

This sleeve was issued in Nov 1987 as a replacement for the ‘rising Strat’ Harvest Heritage re-issue of the album. However, it was withdrawn almost immediately, to be replaced again by the rising strat cover.

As I understand it and as was reported at the time, story goes that this version was issued by mistake following a mix up at the EMI art dept/printers?

Originally the dismembered doll sleeve was meant to replace the old 1960’s group portrait head shot cover in 1977. However, the dismembered doll sleeve proofs were rejected (replaced by the first issue of the flying Strat design) and this artwork was just filed away.

When a re-vamp of the flying Strat sleeve was required the old dismembered doll sleeve was retrieved from the stores at the printers and with a new bar code away you go.

Needless to say once EMI HQ discovered the wrong sleeve had been printed up they allegedly ordered all copies be withdrawn, with only a few escaping into ‘the community’.
