Some copies contain a sticker on front cover:
"Warning !!!
Parental Advisory
Explicit Opinions.
Destroy This Record Before It Destroys You."

Includes a printed card inner sleeve and a 1991-92 or later UK catalog of Alternative Tentacles.
Some copies include the poster.

Original version included "Penis Landscape," by Swiss artist HR Giger Charges were filed against the band for "Selling pornography to minors". Much controversy ensued and the poster was ordered to be removed. Very few copies with this poster were distributed making them extremely rare collectibles.

The differences compared to the other UK edition is the EFA distribution code and a very slight change in the Bat logo of the B side (catalogue number removed, Winston Smith initials moved, generally sharper clarity).
