Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual

The original cover for this album initiated some controversy from conservative record stores and political action groups. They tried to pressure Warner Brothers Records into changing the artwork, but the band would not allow it. Instead, a compromise was met that allowed production of this version as well as the Amendment version which contained an alternate cover for those who found this cover offensive (see pics).

Initial pressings of this album came with a booklet titled "Novena" that contained the album's liner notes. The CD itself had a different labeling; a "J" and "A" were stamped on alternate sides of the disc instead of the bands entire name. Later pressings simply had the band's name on the CD and for all mediums, the Novena book was no longer separate, and was incorporated into the cover leaflet for the full liner notes. Inside the Novena / liner notes, there is a third essay titled "To the Mosquitoes".
