[edit] Controversial category
Restored controversial album cat, see following text which explains why album was controversial;
"One track, not actually listed on the album cover, was a deliberately sacharine (described in fact by the band themselves as pure, unadulterated shit) parody of a "MOR" love song entitled "Our Wedding" [1]. This was given away as a flexi disc with a teenage girl's romance magazine called Loving after having been offered it by an organisation calling itself Creative Recording And Sound Services (note the initials). A minor tabloid furore erupted once the hoax was revealed, with the News of the World going so far as to state that the album's title was "too obscene to print" (a leaflet giving the background to this situationist-style prank was subsequently issued by the band[2])."

- No problem, the album was also seized by manchester Police during the mid 80s (84 I think) as 'obscene', in the event one song from the album, 'bata Motel' was found to have 'obscene' content, i'll add this to the article in time, but need to verify some facts and dates first... quercus robur 17:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
