(Reusing this file)

Note that RE0000274915 did not renew this cover but rather a musical composition titled "Pithecanthropus Erectus"; see this VPC thread. Per Discogs, it is possible that Canada is the country of origin of this cover due to the album being simultaneously released there. Because of this, this cover cannot be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
