Original cover of Vigil

[blui]

Does anybody know if Vigil has a different original cover, which Mark trashed? I am trying to confirm this, but I couldn't find anything about this. According to what I was told, the original cover around the fire sat two tramps, and have Mark Kelley and John Arnison painted on their faces. Kelley complained about it. Also sitting right next to the hill is a white Porsche, which is what Rothery drove.
Mark Wilkinson felt his imagery was trashed and changed to the current cover that we all see.
Is it true?

Well, in the gatefold LP there ARE a Porsche, Mark Kelly and John Arnison.

Well, guess what? There are still a few first batch copies sealed in the back of shops, the point is that the album did sell a lot in the UK and germany, but, well, i.e. here in Italy few people know Fish.
And few pepole bought the album when it came out.
Anyway, I was not aware of this joke.
On my copy, anyway, the guys trying to climb the hill with swords have the faces of Mark Kelly and John Arnison, and a white Porsche is on the top of the hill, over the bunch of TVs.
So, anybody could post a photo of the 'cleaned-up' version?
