to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a truly "censored" copy
the version that is marked and marketed as the "censored version" (
http://www.tombofthemutilated.net/DeathMet...usic/B000001CAJ ) has the "uncensored" artwork inside, and the music and lyrics are uncensored. I believe that the "censored version" is just a marketing gimmick by metal blade to accomplish 2 things - 1. Get the CD into more retailers, and 2. Make the CD more desirable ( its so graphic it had to be censored! ) As far as I know, the lyrics are included inside, so the only thing thats "censored" is the cover is covered up. ( Kind of like the 'butcher paper' version in a way, except it has the word 'censored' on it ) In reality, nothing is censored.
there are also copies that have the PMRC warning label on it, but the music and artwork and lyrics are the same
Might as well just get the enhanced remaster with "Covered With Sores" ( LIVE - featuring Corpsegrinder ) on bonus Audio Track with Quicktime Video.
That version doesn't have the "censored" cover sleeve if that bothers you, allthough the music is the same.
