TheGhostRider Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Why was the American version of the Cover of Permanent Waves censored but all the international versions are not? The news headline “Dewey Defeats Truman” is not visible on the American release but is visible on the other versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 The US newspapers have no jurisdiction outside of the US. I suppose they did not publish that issue outside the US so had no international copyright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddyleegenes Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 But weren't the international versions still censored for the behalf of Coca-Cola? Originally, Hugh Syme put a Coca-Cola billboard on the cover, but the Coca-Cola company said "no" because the billboard was too close to the lovely girl's panties. And the Chicago Daily Tribune Company no longer objects to the "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline, and it has appeared on the cover of the newest LP pressings. I have one, I'm in Illinois, home state of the Chicago Tribune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one, I'm in Illinois, home state of the Chicago Tribune. That’s good to hear. I do remember seeing that the original cover had the Coca-Cola logo on it. I believe that the New Zealand print is the only version that has the completely unaltered original cover, but I believe that edition is quite rare.

grep Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 but the Coca-Cola company said "no" because the billboard was too close to the lovely girl's panties. So much for having a coke and a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
