The Anti-Nowhere League – “So What” In 1982 the Anti-Nowhere League’s snotty classic, “So What,” was prosecuted under Britain’s 1959 Obscene Publications Act. After the police’s record-seizing raids on label headquarters, a pressing plant, & various distributors’ offices, the trial magistrates’ eventually concluded that the song evinced a “tendency to deprave and corrupt,” which resulted in destruction of the confiscated stock & the effective banning of the record.

some nice background on various releases that have been banned for different reasons. the news section is quite interesting as well. via beautiful stuff.
