I've been waiting 30 years for Flash's third release. On the front cover is a
woman's
beautiful torso. Thus completing their 1st/2nd in the  "T&A" series......

Thanks for the eBay referral on the original cover. Never saw it in the States.
Most controversial LP cover then was "Sticky Fingers" with the celluloid wrapping
always torn-open by young teenage girls......

"...and the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright"
  (Carpet Crawlers, Genesis-1974)      Lyrics are everything to music..... JK

Is there a connection between this experience and the 27 toothbrushes
in my bathroom?

Alas, *that* LP cover must take the record (oops) for damaging more co-located
albums than any other - the real zip was dropped (oops again) quite quickly.

Errr, I don't recall it being in celluloid wrapping in the UK, but that 
could just have
been the girls in my town - dunno.
