On The Nice 'N' Sleazy Sleeve Record Mirror 28th April 1978

The edition of Record Mirror in the week of the release of the Nice 'N' Sleazy single carried a short piece in which a man of the cloth in the North West objected to the image that adorned the sleeve. True, the nature of the image would most likely not pass muster in a record company's boardroom meeting in 2023. But before 'snowflake' accusations are levelled at me from all directions, it is worth remembering that the woman depicted was a real victim of murder, one of the 13 victims of Albert DeSalvo, known to the annals of crime as 'The Boston Strangler' a man who had the inhabitants of the east coast city gripped in fear during the early 1960's when he perpetrated his crimes.
