    Don't know if it's been covered before, anyway, this is the story:

    In 1990 a cult band in the Italian underground music scene, named "Elio e le Storie Tese" issued a record called "Born to be Abramo" whose cover was a parody of the Awake cover (Italian edition).

    The record was withdrawn from the market just after a few days, due to the official protests of the JW Italian branch, irritated by the misuse of their magazine's logo and layout (although the logo had been slightly modified in the cover, from Svegliatevi! to Sveliatevi!), plus due to a problem with the Dutch editors of the Patrick Hernandez's song Born to Be Alive, which was parroted in the record.

    The fake magazine on the cover features the topic: What Perspectives Are There to Live Longer?

    Due to its almost immediate withdrawal from the market, the record has become a rarity.
