Really curious!. Re-edited in 1977 including "Heroin", with a stamp on the front sleeve remembering you the it was previously censored!

Notes To the Spanish version: "The cover and the inside sleeve comics used in this album are originally from Nazario, a famous spanish Comic illustrator in those times. This was the cover of a Spanish book, mixture of Comic, Magazine and Fanzine. Lou told someone else (not need to mention it) to draw it for his LP cover without asking permission to the author, saying that Nazario and the other illustrators in the book never ask any permission to him to use his image. There was a sue from the Editors and Nazario against Lou Reed for the copyright of the illustration, and the cover for this LP here in Spain was changed to another one with a photograph of Lou in stage in his blonde-hair times. (the current CD German issue contains the original cover for the first time in Spain)."
