[kj] [OT] Race & the media

[Darren A. Peace]

Well, you can never be absolutely sure with wind-up merchants like Siouxsie.
She's clearly saying "Jews" and not "fools" on the demo, and I spoke to her
and Steve Severin at some length in the late eighties for a fanzine and she
told me that it was definitely Jews, specifically meaning record company
bureaucrats, until Polydor expressed a strong view that it should be
changed. I'm sure the currency of controversy has fuelled the story, but my
knowledge is as I've stated. Doesn't seem any different from her effecting
the swastikas, and the explanation of more than just "ooh aren't we
outrageous" convinced me.

OK. Single version has "bigots". Peel sesson version has "whacks" or "wags"
(can't really make it out). The "Jews" version is on a demos bootleg (they
elected not to put that particular demo on the "Scream" reissue, for some
reason!). "Jews" was never therefore officially released, only being on live
& studio boots.

Banshees : will check - I definitely have a studio version with the "Jews"
line in it.
