Definitely one of my all time favorite joints! Now back when it was originally released, there was such an uproar over that famous line "...no blacks, no jews,and no gays" that they made them change the line to "...where only upper class people stay" so like everybody else I ran out and bought the 12" before they pulled them off the rack, but now, the edited version is nowhere to be found, anybody own a copy of that version? :D

I have both versions on 12". "Upper class..." never sees the light of the day or the tip of a stylus. :D

Damn! u lucky...er,...dog! The original is now the norm to play, I doubt if anyone not born before '79 even knows of the edited versions' existence! Is there anything on the label that identifies it as the edited one? (i'd hate to have to buy every copy I come across, until I find that one, lol)
