 2 DE JANEIRO / 2028 · About 30,000 copies of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's new LP, Two Virgins were confiscated by authorities in New Jersey on Jan. 2, 1969.

 The album cover had a picture of John and Yoko totally nude on it. It was said it was pornographic.

 Their record label, Apple eventually got around the problem by issuing the LP in a plain brown wrapper, just like pornography.
 The album didn't do much on the charts and there are some who think the New Jersey incident was really a promotional stunt.

 Your thoughts and do you still have a copy with the brown paper wrapper still on it?
