I'm just curious if anybody else that bought this re-issue has the same problem as mine. I don't really consider it a problem, it's more of a misprint. As you can see with the picture I have provided, the last page of the booklet, where eddie is sitting on a chair, the image is backwards. This is just on the booklet itself. On the image behind the cd and the carton sleeve, the image is correct. Do you guys know if there are more of these with this misprint? Thanks...

Yup mine is like that too. I don't think it's a misprint, just how they decided to do it. I think it's so that you could use the covers interchangeably, since the main cover is pretty gruesome.
 
UK edition is the same. (I don't know where you guys are posting from) Here, at the time of release it was reported that mainstream record shops such as HMV (recently bust) would not display the 'real' cover, as it was too gruesome for display. However, I suspect that this was a bit of crafty promo work as the album was printed with 2 covers before it's release. Unlike G'n'Rs first album..... Could be wrong....
 
I've got one similar to that--a BMG reissue that doesn't have the main cover art at all, just the electric chair cover. I'd post a picture, but for some reason it won't let me, at the moment.
