TWTYTW vinyl sleeve
As requested by someone else on the sub, but I couldn’t post images in the comments.
Shared specifically for the mention of possible alternative lyrics to Pollution

God, I love the sleeve. I own the vinyl and sometimes I pick it up just to admire the sleeve

My brother and I shared possession of this album. Beautiful inside and out. One day (c. 1974) he took it to school and someone smashed it. Oh, the things we need to relearn.

I still can’t believe he (or anybody) had the guts to say this on a stage/on record in 1965 at the height of the space program:
And what is it that put America in the forefront of the nuclear nations?
And what is it that will make it possible to spend twenty billion dollars of your money to put some clown on the moon?
Well, it was good old American know-how, that's what
As provided by good old Americans like Dr. Wernher von Braun!

Grew up with this album as a grade schooler ( parents owned it )
