Didn't Scotland Yard launch an investigation? Given she was 14 years old at the time even these days it would be controversial.

Lwin’s Mother forced Scotland Yard to investigate, Scotland Yard found nothing wrong / no laws broken. If anything the controversy increased album sales.

if that was considered as child pornography, what about prior releases such as Blind Faith by Blind faith, or Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin , or subsequent such as Nevermind by Nirvana 

All contained naked underaged children, but no, go after Malcolm McLaren the nasty man who gave us the Sex Pistols

Wasn't Houses Of The Holy cover from a Sci-fi movie or book?

Children as opposed to a 14 year old girl is a bit different.

It was based on Arthur C Clarke’s Childhoods End but the shot was done for the album by Hypnosis.

So 7-9 year old kids is acceptable, how about 11 year old Mariora Goschen on the Blind Faith album?

Whilst I am no lawyer, I am pretty certain that Child Pornography laws applied to all children under 5e age of consent and not just ones over the age of 13 .

Either the laws apply in every case, or not at all, and since Scotland Yard decided not to proceed with any prosecution it appears that no actual laws were broken.

Have no idea who Blind Faith is.

But as you said before "Many a lad celebrated Palm Sunday with Annabelle" so that in itself would suggest a level of inappropriateness. Any one who relied on the House Of The Holy album cover for a bit of self gratification in my view is extremely disturbed.

But these are just my views. Have to admit I never knew she was only 14 when I first watched I Want Candy.

Ring any Bells? It’s an iconic album cover form the 70’s 

I often wondered why Houses of the Holy sold well in New Zealand

Nope have no idea but will look it up.

I believe a certain Paul MacCartney and Wings album was very popular as well 😃

Depends how you define “Lad” remember this was over 40 years ago, and when I was a lad “Lad” was synonymous with “Schoolboy” and once you had started work / had your first pint / had your first shag you were no longer a lad. I started work at 16 and did the other two before I started work.

So lad being 16 tops, apply the half the age plus six rule (16/2)+6 = 14 which just so happen to be Annabelle’’s age and it doesn’t suggest inappropriateness in my mind. Anyway I was more sophisticated and preferred to spend palm Sunday with Kate Bush haha.
