All the info already in the db on this is correct - I'd just like to add that there's also another different 3:17 "censored" DJ 45 - this one doesn't simply splice out the offending word; it leaves it in, and adds "BEEP" at both the 1:08 and 2:09 marks. It goes "with all that bull shBEEEEEP" goin' down." The "sh" is more prominent on the edit at 2:09 than it is at 1:08. Deadwax is AE - 3ZS8 - 2256-3.

Which brings up this pertinent inquiry. The only copy I have is on the Time-Life Sounds of the Seventies: 1975 Take Two CD, however, I get this lyrically starting at around the (1:05) mark:
"I get knocked off the ground by all this, heeeeyyyy..." In other words, there's only one part of the song on that CD that needs to be censored (that being at the (2:07) mark). So I'm guessing from that I do not have the proper 45 version on that CD (the one "s" word is uncensored on mine, but sounds like I should have two). Can someone shed some light? |

Part 2(B-side of the original 45) of "Fight The Power" features an edit of the song that removes the offending word by editing in the first couple of notes of the song in place of the word bull****. The end result is pretty clunky and awkward sounding. The second time he sings BS, it is unedited. This version of the song is featured on an Isleys compilation called "It's Your Thing" released by Sony Special Markets. There's supposed to be a much better radio edit on a TM Century Golddisc compilation. I have a sample CD that demonstrates the edit and it's flawlessly done.

Jeff, I've actually looked through TM's catalog to see if they might have issued that censored version. The only thing I can find is a listing for a 3:17-ish version that says "Lyrics!" next to the title. They usually used this to indicate lyrical issues that should be previewed before airing.
Also, I have one of their demo discs where they use "Fight The Power" as an example of how commercial CDs issue uncensored versions of songs. The snippet has the BS word in it, but they never actually do a comparison to show what the censored version sounds like. I know that more than one demo disc is floating around out there. The one I'm referring to has "Money" (Pink Floyd) "Bad Boy" (Miami Sound Machine) "Kiss You All Over" (Exile) etc. Do you know which tracks are on the disc you mention? |

By the way, Jim, the "beeped" version you mention is the only censored 45 I've heard. A friend of mine sent me an edit which replaces the offending word with music from the intro. It's kind of clunky sounding, like Jeff describes above. I don't know if the edit is an official one, or if it's homemade. This is one song, however, that I would like to track down an official non-bleeped but censored version.

Aaron, since you mention there being a lyrical edit of "Kiss You All Over" by Exile, what lyrics were edited?

Sounds like it's version I have, but I'm not sure (the edit where the first "bulls**t" should be actually sounds pretty smooth and not clunky). Anyone else have the T-L CD and can compare to the 45 or the version Jeff describes? |

No, there are no lyrics edited in "Kiss You All Over." It's just one of the songs on TM Century's demo. Not only do they demonstrate censored songs, but also ones that have superior sound quality, special versions not found on commercial CDs, etc. |

But, the single of "Kiss You All Over" does have the second verse edited out.
This deserves it's own thread. |

And on my copy of that TM Century GoldDisc3 sampler with "Kiss You All Over", the channels have time phase issues so the top end gets all messy when summed to mono, even though it sounds great in stereo. Wonder what their source was? |
