Frank Zappa - Chunga's Revenge - LP - Bizarre/Reprise - 1970 (Green cover) (pic 1)
From Record Collector magazine #118, June 1989 (quoted by Mikael Agardsson): The initial UK pressings of Chunga's Revenge was something of an oddity, having a green sleeve instead of the red one used for the US and elsewhere. The UK cover was reprinted in red shortly before the Kinney takeover in July 1971 but quite why the green sleeve was peculiar to Britain has never been fully explained.
