This has nothing to do with "censorship in the US". They said blacklist---basically meaning unmarketable I would assume (they have no label in the US and no one would want to pick them up). Its unfortunate UK media sources would run a story to insinuate there is some evil force (blacklisting? must be a government agency!) keeping art unheard in US, especially considering the British government has been censoring art there for quite some time. The only force keeping Primal Scream down in the US is pure economics. At 10:15 AM 4/10/2002 +0100, you wrote:
