Well 'censoring' the lyrics by doubling Mick's own "But that's what I call obscene' is very witty but musically it does the mix no good.
Depending on how you listen it's now:
"But that's what I call p*ssy clean" or "But that's what I call obscene clean"
or even "But that's too bad you keep your p*ssy clean"
Now that's what I call tongue in cheek censorship. And 36 years after the fact it's still a riot. Now that's what I call good PR.
For those who took the piss, the joke's on you.

>who is buying these things??
People who don't already own them perhaps? They've been out of print, now they're available again, there's no mystery.

I love the new remaster of Goats Head, especially Star Star! I grew up with the censored version and love the effects used in the so-called censoring. We have the other version on CD and now we have the old version!! WAY COOL!! Also, the new mix is wierd but interesting and much different. Cool booklet too! Goats Head is at least worth buying for Star Star alone!

Well, that`s funny, exilestones, cause the original US vinyl-version was the censored one and the rest of the world had the uncensored version as original.So thats the strange thing for all the people outside the US to get this "gimmick". At least a collecters item but not the real thing.

I just came across the south african pressing of goats head, and star star is also censored on this LP. I first thought the record was defect until I realised the "fxxxxx" was overdubbed in each and every chorus. Creates a nice visual effect on the grooves of the record as well when you hold the record in the light. I don't sem to find the us censored version on youtube so I cannot compare if it is censored in the same way as the us version. Can anyone describe how Star Star is censored on the us version?
