Anti-nowhere League: Live in Yugoslavia (1983)

 


I didn't know about tis record until much later. I really don't think it (or the previous records from the band) got any air play over here. I mean, what radio station could play it anyway, with all of that profanity?

From Wikipedia:
Live in Yugoslavia is a live album from the punk band the Anti-Nowhere League. It was recorded in Moša Pijade Hall in Zagreb, Yugoslavia on April 24, 1983 and released and pressed later in the same year in England on I.D Records. The CD was anecdotally edited to remove foul language and crude references to the recently deceased former president Tito, but nothing was edited or removed on the original 1983 vinyl release.

The LP cover was designed by Crunchic and Sirc Nirbag and the art featured artist's impression of the Flag of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with its map on fire. Back cover contained photographs of the members taken by Goranka Matic on the streets of Zagreb.
My copy is an uncensored UK pressing. I have to say that in all my years of record buying, I have only ever seen this once, and that was on the day I bought this.
