I ♥ Porn

So I saw the Dwarves play a couple of years ago and it helped remind me just how good they are. I hadn't been interested in them for a long time, but the live show made me want to check out if there were many records that I had missed over the years. Well, yup, there were a few. But there was one I wanted more than the others, because it has what may possibly be THE most offensive front cover of all time.

As a cool bonus, the label packaged it in a brown paper bag. Because back before the internet when you actually had to venture outside of your house to buy sketchy porn, that's how they used to package it... er, apparently.

So here's the cover of the record. I've made the photo nice and big so you can really drink it in for a few minutes.

The cover model is a lady called Malice McMunn. She seems to be the go to 'punk' model. Her day job (that she probably performs at night) is stripper, so she's probably comfortable taking her clothes off. And in case you were looking at other things in the photo, you may not have noticed that she has a dildo in the shape of a crucifix in one hand, and a Dwarves LP in the other. Otherwise known as the perfect ingredients for a top night at home.

The record itself is a split pink and yellow vinyl etched disc. This is the first press of 250, and the most limited version.

The record contains a live recording of some songs that were performed on some Estonian radio station. So it's a kind of compilation of hits from different eras. There are also two songs performed by fans tagged on the end, which was an opportunity the band offered as some kind of competition. Kinda cool if you were the winning fans I guess.

After the first pressing they changed the cover of this to something a little less 'in your face'. I'm tempted to pick one up although it's not quite as interesting as this version, so don't get yourself too excited.
