Controversy

The EP was withdrawn from sale one week after release when designer Ken Done launched legal action and obtained an injunction order banning the sale of the EP due to the original cover art featuring a Done-like koala with a syringe in its mouth. The EP was re-released in November 1993 under the title "Censored Due To Legal Advice", with new cover art depicting the infamous incident where Sinéad O'Connor tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II (the image of the Pope being doctored to read "TISM") on Saturday Night Live.

Re-release

Although the EP itself was never officially re-released in its original form, shortly after the controversy, it was quickly re-released with alternate artwork as "Censored Due To Legal Advice". Following this, the tracks were added to the reissue of Beasts of Suburban, then again in Collected Recordings 1986-1993.
