| Black vinyl LP with picture sleeve and white paper inner sleeve. Initially released with stickered cover which censored the artwork and copies sold in Japan had the cover censored with the offending area covered or scratched off by hand.
According to The Colour of Noise documentary there was only 2500 copies of the original US pressing manufactured. Also originally issued on cassette (with alternate sleeve/images) and on vinyl in Europe with a different label design. In 2016 this was reissued on CD and vinyl with a new lino-cut cover design by Haze XXL. The following excerpt comes from an interview in Fiz magazine (Issue #7, July/August 1993) and relates to the look of Cristina on the cover of this release: “Fiz: The first one has that real cheesecakse/pinup girl look to it. I like that kind of stuff. Fiz: Wow, I never even equated the two. I didn’t even realize she had a name. Cristina: Just a bit of trivia for you. But yeah, that’s what I was going for there. I actually had this make up artist there who painted my nipples black! It was really funny. Having some woman, while I’m sitting there having a cigarette, painting my nipples black. Fiz: Why would you do that? Cristina: (laughing) Because Femlins nipples are black! She’s just an outline. We were trying to make it as high contrast as possible, so it was like an outline with black gloves and boots, black hair and black nipples.” – Fiz Magazine The following comes from an interview with Cristina Martinez in S&M Magazine regarding the sleeve and reaction to it: “S&M: And you know I’m gonna ask this one as well. Why did you pose naked for the first album? And I bet you’re sick of this question. Cristina: I believe that the album cover should reflect the content of the material within the record… S&M: Which it does Cristina: …which it does, and it has in every case, and that’s always been important to me, and the first record was a real sort of raw exposure of myself, and a real changing point, and it was coming out for me. S&M: I believe you got some stick off your friends for doing it? Cristina: I did. A lot of people took it the wrong way and thought it was some sort of sexploitation-like cheap thrills, sort of shock value thing on my part, and that was not the case. It was disappointing.” – Gerry Mander / S&M Magazine Boss Hog – Drinkin’, Lechin’ & Lyin’ [1989] (LP, US) |
