Cultural Facts:

1. Included an H.R. Giger poster that sparked an L.A. obscenity prosecution in 1986; charges were dropped, but legal costs hit Alternative Tentacles hard.

2. Many shops kept it behind the counter or in plain packaging, turning a punk LP into a real-world test of “family values” retail politics.
