Clash, The ‎– London Calling

I have three copies of this album. Two of which have censor stickers on the cover reading, "this album includes lyric content which may be offensive ... " yadda-yadda. These stickers also vary in size between the two albums, one being just larger than the other. Anyone know the story behind these stickers?

I've got a blue vinyl copy. Guessing its a bootleg as all cat numbers and markings are same as original UK pressing and I know this can't be the case. Anyone else come across this copy?

The release date must be wrong. Sony bought CBS Records in 1988 and uses the "Columbia" label since 1989 or 1990. This CD probably was one of those Clash reissues from the early 90s.

Fantastic remastering of the best punk rock album of all time (if you will consider this punk rock). Too bad they didn't get to work with Guy Stevens again, I think he really brought out the best in them. (He is credited as producing some of thier earliest demos, however.) Save your money and don't bother with the 25th Anniversary which added a bonus CD of out takes and a making of DVD (only die-hard will be interested and its not worth the money and neither disc are worth much replay).

The 30th Anniversary did not bring the Chocolate tapes :( but here's to hoping the 35th brings the Mocha tapes (raises glass). LOL.

NOTE: I recently acquired and listened to the original US LP and the bell at the beginning of Koka Kola is messed up on the RE. Sounds like some one bumped the tape while recording. It goes "dwoing" instead of "bing". Reportedly it is this way on the 25th and 30th anniversary RE as well! (Though not the original CD issue.) Talk about piss poor quality control.
