Vinyl Me Please Essentials

The sex interludes are the main reason I'm trading in 3FH&R and Ready to Die to my local shop. If I ever reacquire these albums in the future (a legit possibility), it'll be in the CD format. Much easier to skip.

I'm still mourning the fact that we're not getting PJ Harvey next month.
Is PJ Harvey definitely out?
 
All this talk about goofy obscenity hang ups reminds me of back in the day when Walmart would not carry “explicit” albums and artists would have to alter packaging (Nirvana’s In Utero particularly comes to mind “Rape Me” became “Waif Me” and the aborted fetus on the back cover became like a pond with some turtles and shit in it) to make sure they could get there CD’s on to Walmart shelves as they were like the biggest music retailer in the US for pretty much the entirety of the 90’s. You couldn’t pick up a copy of Dr. Dre’s The Chronic that wasn’t heavily edited but if you walked a bit further back in the store you could purchase an AR-15 and a box of ammo with little difficulty.
I was just talking with a friend about this the other day because I bought Siamese Dream back in the day at K Mart and it had no tracklist at all on it. Instead of just censoring one track name it just had no tracklist at all. I couldn't just Google it so I had no idea what most of the tracks were I was listening to. When I would go into a real CD store I woukd try and memorize the track list on the un censored CD. Primitive times.
