Peel-1991-06-15-Billy-Bragg-and-First-Offence

[spib2003]

The First Offence track 'Drugs' almost never made it to broadcast. 
Producer Mike Robinson and others present were less than convinced of 
its status as an anti-drugs tune and permission to plunder the My Way 
tune hung in the air for a while, with clearance negotiations going 
on throughout the day of the recording session. Even when it was 
repeated by Rob Da Bank it was felt prudent to warn sensitive 
listeners in advance.
