The Royal Guardsmen - Snoopy #39;s Christmas (Rare Australian Radio Edit)
In the 60s, restrictions on the type of language that could be used on Australian radio were MUCH more stringent than they are today. This led to some songs being banned from radio airplay altogether. The Federation Of Australian Radio Broadcasters had a special committee to vet new releases, and adjudicate on those they considered to be of questionable lyric content. There were, from memory, 3 categories of ban...an A restriction, which was banned outright, a B restriction, which meant that the song had to be brought to management attention...and, I think a C category , which related to hours when children were more likely to be listening. One one of the victims of this censorship was the Snoopy series of hits by The Royal Guardsmen...these songs were not banned, but, the record company, Festival, was forced to service radio stations with a special edited version of each hit, with the word #39;bloody #39; beeped out. These #39;beeped #39; 45s were only ever supplied to radio, and were never available to the public. This upload features the #39;beeped #39; version of "Snoopy #39;s Christmas"...the censors had an easier time with this one, because, from memory, the word #39;bloody #39; only appeared once...near the start. This upload is from the original radio edit mono 45.From:theflipsidedkidViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:06More inMusic
