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 (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 edition had lyrics that were printed 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 1970s was released. The album was later released in a special digipak style of case, but this was later said to have been released prematurely, and was withdrawn.
