Digging through the vinyl for Roxy Music

I would really, really, really like another Roxy Music album… but… alas… its most likely not going to happen.  Sigh.

Anyway, I was flipping through the vinyl looking for something interesting and stumbled across Country Life.  This jacket pictured here is not the first copy I purchased, but the second.  The first, a U.S. release, had a front cover of the trees minus the women (essentially the back cover).  The jacket pictured here is the U.K. release.

As you might guess the U.K. cover (original) was just a tad controversial in the U.S.

Surprisingly (at least to me), you can now purchase the CD/album with the original cover… although I’d be shocked if you found it at Wal*Mart.  Honestly, I be shocked if you found any Roxy Music release at Wal*Mart.
