Welcome to the Beautiful South was the debut album by The Beautiful South released in August 1989. Jan Saudek's album cover originally depicted two pictures, one of a woman with a gun in her mouth, and another with a man smoking. Both people are African-Americans, as the pictures were intended to highlight the plight of blacks in the American South during the 1980s. Woolworths refused to stock the album because of its cover, therefore, an alternate cover featuring a picture of a stuffed toy rabbit and a teddy bear was made.
