Gett Off Cover Art

I'm trying to figure out what the cover art on Gett Off actually says... I have looked at a couple of scans on the web, but can't make out much detail. Here is a sleevographia link:

any help would be appreciated...
La, la, la
He, he, hee!

You need to hold it up to the mirror to read what it says.

Yeah, but I only have a file on my computer -- which won't reach to my mirror (not enough coax cable).

Move the mirror or print a screenshot and take it to the mirror

There is a small drawing of Eric Leeds and the comment that reads something like; Go Buy Eric's Jazz record.

And you all do not own the 12"?

Shame On You All!

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine.

Blue Angel,

This is artwork that was included on a 1500-promotional release of "Gett Off" that actually preceded the release of the "Diamonds and Pearls" album if I'm not mistaken. I don't think too many people actually have this -- although with the advent of mp3 technology and peer-to-peer it is fairly easy to actually get a version of this release. I imagine it would be quite costly to get an actual copy of this promo.

I think this is the cover art sent out to radio stations on his birthday.
I'm an org elitist... totally unapproachable.

This was on the artwork of the COMMERCIAL (not just the promo, that's it) US 12" of Gett Off. The European version had a different back cover which left all those messages out.
