I got 'What the fuck's going on?' off BitTorrent whilst searching for Monkees, because I'm a sucker for gratuitous obscenity and considered it pretty fucking genius, frankly. ^^

Right at the end of the year the JAMS issued a version of 1987 called "Edits" which blanked out all the illegal samples (but included instructions on the back cover of the record about how to recreate the original LP yourself). As "Edits" contained less than 25 minutes of sound, it retailed for the price of an EP!
