- AMG claims that it was released in 1989. Does the (P)(C)1988 on my copy really contradict this? Perhaps 1988 is something other than the release date. However, I was under the impression that copyright begins with the release. Tim Ivorson 1 July 2005 19:10 (UTC)
Is this really a debut album? Teklund 28 June 2005 14:54 (UTC)
- Not according to AMG. Tim Ivorson 1 July 2005 19:10 (UTC)
[edit] Release Date
Here it goes, The reason why the article is changed so many times. The album was produced and first released in 1988, although a second, and more impacting, wave came in 1989, which saw the release of even a clean version. Even a video for Express Yourself was aircasted on MTV (after selling the first million)... What I'm trying to point out is the fact that for several releases of the same album, it is the first one that counts...
- I'm telling you 1988 is copyright, not the release date and copyright does not equal release dates (like blink-182's Cheshire Cat was released in 1995, but the CD says 1994, Radiohead's Pablo Honey was released in 1993, but the CD says 1992, etc.). Sorry, but sometimes we just can't go by copyright. Alex 101 20:17, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well some viewers say they heard the album in 1988, and I was born in 1988. I like that year!
[edit] PA Label
Due to an explicit title, this album should be rereleased with a PA label.
[edit] Robert Christgau
Should this review be deleted from the references? I really don’t know who this guy is nor why his opinion on the record matter but the review itself is not that well-written and even the webpage looks kinda amateur-ish.
