never thought to go backwards with them, so far so good

this was a funny footnote on this album
During their time with EMI Records the band consistently experienced troubles with their contract: upon their initial negotiations only three members of the group (Rowland, Archer and Geoffrey "Jeff" Blythe), called the "nucleus", were signed to the label, which caused a stir within the group. They were also only being paid 6% of the royalties, whereas most bands receive 10–12%. This led to Rowland threatening to steal the album from the studio and hold it ransom until their pay was increased, which EMI laughed at. However, on the last day of mixing the record, while Wingfield was out of the studio to get a cup of coffee, the members of the group locked the door to the studio, each taking a carton of magnetic tape and ran through the building to their getaway vehicle, a Morris Minor which belonged to Saunders' girlfriend and drove to Rowland's parents' house in Birmingham. EMI demanded the tapes back but the band had already set off on their sell-out UK tour. The band gave the tapes back when EMI raised their pay to 9%, but they almost destroyed them by travelling through the London Underground, which could have demagnetized them and wiped everything.

guess the never thought how 6% would be fantastic to what they are getting on spotify today

Fucking incredible. You just know some EMI executive uttered the line "never negotiate with terrorists" with a straight-face while discussing how to handle this.

Neil Young - Tuscaloosa

Irvine Welsh reminded me of this album and it is indeed a shame they only ever got to release one album

questionable name aside the Dogs Die In Hot Cars album "Please Describe Yourself" is a good one, couple real belters on this one for sure..

that pavement one was awesome, NIN is on the list

Cake - Prolonging the magic

Cake must be in a mega 20 plus year fight with their old record label not to release these on LP … no reissues of any sorts from Capricorn Records…nada..no deluxe nothing

This album and Fashion Nugget are so good

The world can take only so much vibraslap.

this is funny
The album was given a parental advisory sticker not because of profanity but for Satanic-themed lyrics. Some copies do not feature a sticker, with the only difference being that the song "Satan Is My Motor" has been retitled "Motor".

Isn't there something like that around The Lemonheads' song Drug Buddy having a "clean" version with the exact same song but listed as "Buddy" in the tracklisting?

I think there were "sanitized" versions of Siamese Dream where Silverfuck had asterisks as well.

Weird time for censorship.

Not the promo baby


Fashion Nugget has the darn warning but not the record club issue

🇺🇸 is a prude

I frickin loathe those stickers…see Janes Ritual…ruins a work of art


I was shocked the other day..I sold a cd on discogs and the address of the buyer was a street named “Satan’s kingdom” WTF

Are you sure hatch? Not sure Prolonging the Magic had the warning



“I don’t know much about Cinco de Mayo…I’m never sure what it’s all about…”

I mean, the real reason for putting an advisory sticker on a Cake record isn't that Americans are prudes, its that Cake is a shitty ass band and people need warned.
