Wait, they employed people to censor individual items of commercial art manually?
Swimming trunks is a pretty funny way to do it.
Meanwhile, The Stones' Live Licks European cover is better because the American one has a bra.

I saw that cover on the BBC, on QI, and it was censored. I was angry. Kirk cobain made a big deal about that album cover, saying in effect that anyone who thinks it needs to be censored should look more to themselves.

How come the cover was censored on QI but there exists things in the UK like page 3 girls? Is a newspaper/tabloid somehow different or less accessible to minors than the tele?

The image on the album cover was of a child. It's a totally different conversation than page 3.
The censors with their felt tip pens clearly had a variety of artistic talent. I found myself choosing from various censorings of Nirvana's Nevermind which had the cover with the naked baby.
Some had a blocked out rectangle, some were scribbled on, some just blocked out the silhouette of the baby. I settled on one which had neatly drawn on a pair of swimming trunks!
Seems like another life now.
