Somehow I can understand the reaction...
According to a printer who worked at the plant at the time the sleeves ended up in the trash.
Instead the single was sold in a CBS company bag.
But some of the original sleeves survived. Here it is – the sleeve that was too ugly for the Ramones.
UPDATE: I havn't noticed it before but the fact that the writing credits on the back of the sleeve are wrong must have been a big reason why this sleeve got withdrawn. Dee Dee wrote Pet Sematary and Charles Barris wrote Palisades Park...
Title: Pet Sematary/Palisades Park
Number: Liberation Records 102100 7
Year: 1989
Country: Australia
This is how the single was sold, in a company sleeve. I have also
seen the single in a blue version of this sleeve.
I was working there at the time and me and a work friend saved a few boxes before they went to the trash. about 100 or more. I sold all my copies over the years for $50 each, have a bout 2 left I think. Great blog.
