==No Sleep Till Belfast Why no mention of the 1988 live LP 'No Sleep Till Belfast'. It certainly isn't good, but it deserves inclusion in the discography.
Why not put it in then! Thats what wiki's all about surely....
[edit] Skinto
I'm a big fan of Hiberno-English, and in fact, use it myself. But I just had to say, I've never seen the phrase 'cos they were skint' in a Wikipedia article before.

Granted its not RP English, but as a quote from Jake in this context, it's valid I think 80.177.152.156
[edit] Alternative Ulster
What inspired them to write Alternative Ulster? I was in a nightclub tonight and it was being played, and what a great, great song it still is.
It was written cos a fanzine called "Alternative Ulster" wanted them to write a song that could be recorded onto a flexi disc, which could then be given away on the front cover of said fanzine. The flexi disc I believe never happened but the band decided to run with the song anyhow. Jcuk 22:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, so there's now a link to the Bruce Foxton bio where the 'banned in Britain' quote was taken from. In fact the exact phrase crops up all over the Internet. But it still doesn't give any clue what it means. Who banned it? Can you be arrested for owning a copy? In my experience, 'banned in Britain' is just a sensationalized way of saying 'not on Radio 1's playlist'. Grant 00:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Nope, it was withdrawn from sale on the first day (at the insistance of the British Government I believe, but have no proof thereof). Jcuk 08:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, that's a step forward. Let's say that then. I'm not aware that the government has any power to ban records. I don't think we should say 'banned' unless we can say who banned it. Grant 15:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
