Reviews
seems to be a different version of "This is Pop" on this one
Excellent compilation with an interesting twist - it does NOT include any version of “Respectable Street!” I guess Andy REALLY didn’t like the censored version on the 7” - the label forced him to change certain “controversial” lyrics (“abortion” to “absorption”, “contraception” became “child prevention” etc) or the bbc wouldn’t play it - even with the cleaned up lyrics it was never played.
