yeah the government censors were cracking down in this era and didnt let up until the 80s. I think all the musicians had to have their songs reviewed by government censors. they also focused more on harassing some of the famous ones they perceived as more threatening, blocking songs that werent even political for dubious reasons. which made it even more impressive when they snuck obvious social/political commentary into those classic albums. i forget where I read this but I wanna say Milton partially developed his trademark wordless vocal technique due to songs that got blocked by censors

apparently Chico Buarque was such a favorite target that he gave up and did a covers album in 1975 because the government wouldn't approve a single song he wrote in 1974-1975. and in 1968 Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil famously got arrested and exiled from the country not to return for a few years

same old story but im used to usually hearing it about it in a cinema context

@RVI

classic Hawkwind non-album single from 1973 following up their magnum opus live album

T. Rex starting to falter a bit in the face of Bowie and Roxy's ascent but still had some heaters

This image is nasty work

Urban Guerrilla is great, reminds me of some proto-Primal Scream in its momentum and lyrics

what's the other one? doesnt work for me

Brainbox Pollution

Right, yeah I had both this and Urban Guerilla as bonus tracks on Doremi. I thought they were just tracks from the actual album tho, not bonus tracks from the next year.
