[edit] Cover Art and Reprint Issues

As originally released, this album featured cover art that had "two roses" on it. After it was released, Bill Ward again (as with Ward One, his first solo album) stated (on his website) that the released cover art was not the correct one that was intended to be released. Additionally, the liner notes for the original printing had lyrics that were so small, most people needed a magnifying glass to read them. This was eventually corrected in 2000 when the version of the album with Bill on the cover from the 70's was released. The album was later on released in a special digipak style of case, but this was later on said to be released prematurely, and was withdrawn.
