Australia the Lucky C*nt

Australia the Lucky C*nt (title censored due to Fandom's terms of service) is an EP by TISM, released on CD and cassette by Shock Records on 3rd September 1993. It immediately attracted controversy, due not only to its explicit title, but also the cover art, designed to resemble one of artist Ken Done's "iconic" koalas sucking on a syringe.
When the Done organization threatened to sue, TISM proposed releasing the EP with an altered version of the cover art, with all but the band name blacked out - the Done organization refused this also, apparently feeling that as the artwork was still alluding to the original image, the band were still committing the same "heinous" offence.
With the Done organization demanding an amount of money "fairly close to the sort of amount that Radiohead spends on buying friends", the CD and cassette editions of the EP were withdrawn from sale. Shock Records released an amended version of the EP on CD and cassette on 25th October, retitled Censored Due to Legal Advice, with an entirely new cover image, depicting singer Sinead O'Connor tearing an image bearing the band name and EP title. 
Censored Due to Legal Advice was later deleted from Shock's catalogue altogether; the EP's tracks were integrated into the earlier EP The Beasts of Suburban on its 1997 reissue - the two releases shared the same catalogue number, "SHOCK MC7020" - and on the 1995 box set Collected Recordings 1986-1993.
