The self titled debut was not just released in England in 1977 though. Copies printed outside of England did not include the picture inner sleeve, but some had instead a picture inner sheet. The sleeves also included the misspelling of “Keepers…”. In Germany it was released and distributed by Metronome Musik (cat no 0067.055) with a picture inner sheet. The inner sheet has information about the t-shirt sale. The sleeve was laminated. After the initial copies had been pressed Metronome discovered the swastika on the cover so they had to stop the distribution but it was too late. Copies had already been distributed and reached the record shops. The story is that no more than 150 copies survived. After those initial pressings the swastika was censored from the cover. Some copies were made with the map label without the Motorhead logo, others with the stylus label (most likely a later pressing). There are also copies wit an additional number within brackets, "(0559)" in the top right corner on the backsleeve. Peter Wagner says on his Facebook site that this version is on the uncensored version.
