Banned music.

Probably a Padded cell music item.

It might while away a few minutes and even encourage a smile, on this less than fine Monday.
I love some of the justification for the bans and some of reasons why they shouldn't have been.

Banned music, BBC and others.

Not new but I came across it looking for something else.

It would also be ironic that he worked for the BBC and his record got banned.

A fried of mine had the Ivor Biggun record which he used to delight in playing... he told me a couple of months ago that he once met the person who recorded it (I took no notice of the name). Making conversation, my friend said "I have a copy of that record", and the other person said "I've got a garage full..."
