"Lawyers for The Velvet Underground said the band planned to a-peel"
any sounds that we feel would detract from the performance has been left in place

This has to be written as a response to Nirvana Sued Over Album Cover 30 Years After Release.

Spencer Elden, who is now 30-years-old, was photographed as a nude baby on the Nirvana album, and has now decided to sue the band, after making allegations that he was sexually exploited.

“The images exposed Spencer’s intimate body part and lasciviously displayed Spencer’s genitals from the time he was an infant to the present day.”

The presence of the banknote, which was reportedly “superimposed after the photograph was taken” presents the baby as “a sex worker,” says Robert Y. Lewis, who is Elden’s Lawyer.


And here's one of the best lines: “[When] I go to a baseball game and think about it: ‘Man, everybody at this baseball game has probably seen my little baby penis,’ I feel like I got part of my human rights revoked.”

Yes, that Nirvana album should have been sold inside a brown paper bag, just like they did in '68 with John & Yoko's "Two Virgins".
