Thank you. I really don't like the Streisand reference but I hadn't
thought of the more classic reference.

Full agreement.  A tasteless attempt by the record company to sell
more records.  But thats why it's all the more informative and
interesting as part of the article:  I especially thought the quotes
showing how the bands opinion of the image evolved over time.

But child porn? please.  Whomever that image /arouses/ belongs on a
sex offender registry. It's a picture of a naked kid, whoptie do.  …
But thats an opinion I couldn't have formed without actually seeing
it. I'm grateful that Wikipedia saved me the trip to the record store
to find out what this UK organization found so objectionable.
