Artwork censorship

Disgraceful's cover underwent a revision after some time on general release. The original cover—pictured here—contained a furry blue pencil case with a balloon inside, creating a somewhat labia-like effect. This was later revised to the current, slightly less blatant bunny slipper design.

A reviewer from British magazine Music Week wrote, "Delicate, poignant pop from the Gateshead [sic] trio, with Sarah Blackwood's voice soaring above synthesised melodies and strings."[2]
