Hmm, not sure if that's such a good idea. To me that era of Whitehouse is very much CD music due to the digital sound. The cover art will look great on a picture disc, though. Has anyone heard the LP versions of Halogen and/or Quality Time and can tell how the sound translates on vinyl?

People actually listen to these things? I though vinyls were purely for decoration and for sharing on Instagram for Likes.

I never had complaints of the sound or presentation of the vinyls. It is true that all the later era is so "CD format sound", that I would have to admit even if I have the vinyl, if in mood for listening stuff again, most likely pulling out the CD!
Length and the flow of tracks may work better without need of turning sides.

I do have Right to Kill and P.Sexualis on vinyl, but I would say I would most definitely buy them on CD if official versions ever come.

The Halogen LP on Dirter sounds good to me, no complaints about the audio. I don't think it loses anything in being less 'digital'. The LP cover is noticeably pixelated however, it looks pretty bad in person.

In general, I have no issue with late period Whitehouse on LP. Bought the Susan Lawly vinyl editions as they came out and they always sounded good to me.

Sorry in advance if this is old news/already common knowledge...

I was sitting down for a good old listen of Cruise and, as it'd been a while, I had the lyrics up on Genius.
Now, everywhere I've see this anorexia erotica rumour pop up it's presented all 'maybe it is, maybe it isn't'. Turns out this is actually very easy to check as there's an archive of the site. So, yes, Bennett totally did.

I guess that's one way not to not get sued, takes a special sort to take someone to court over their anorexia fetish porn. I find the changes, omissions and additions really fascinating. (I can't help but think the changes to the woman's size most peculiar, though, considering the descriptors don't change much... Maybe it's some artistic statement going over my head, but the poncey part of me insists that it just makes Bennett sound clueless. Or like he didn't check how many pounds were in a stone, haha. But like I said, that's just me being a cunt. YMMV.)

This seems like the kinda trivia that got lost over time. I don't have accounts most places, but if anyone feels like confirming it to be true on relevant pages, be my guest.

I would assume being "sued" is not happening almost anywhere in the world really.. I mean in context of borrowing something from surrounding culture. Like Con-Dom often "stealing" entire lyrical pieces from somewhere else. Or big part of release artwork just taken, without any intent to think according to laws, you may have to respect original makers copyrights, hah..
I would certainly assume Whitehouse used the formerly made text(s) with purpose, and with knowing that if and when someone found about it, it is not bad things, but quite opposite. One of the links that lead you further into world they were dealing with.

Had to search this after reading the above post. A little delayed but I'm liking this:

Also in the works:
PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS legacy CD
limited issue MUMMY+DADDY vinyl picture disc!

That Psychychopathia Sexualis cd would be a welcome addition to my collection. I have the VOD-box but never listen to it. Wondering about the audio source though..

Wasn't sure where to post this. Some interesting ephemera just got listed on eBay UK:

Handwritten letter from Kevin Tomkins on Come Organisation paper promoting Sutcliffe Jugend (with an SJ button badge)

A poster advertising a screening of films by Produktion at the London Musician's Co-op (some films' music credited to Whitehouse, John Murphy and Nurse With Wound)

Best to save these photos if they're worth archiving as we all know they won't last forever on eBay. Also, I know the Produktion Film Soundtracks have been reissued seperately by menstrualrecordings, but if the films themselves have been digitally preserved I'd love to see them too!


Cranial Blast

Just revisited the mini CD "single" of Whitehouse - Just Like A Cunt. This perticular version has William Bennett performing the vocals, rather than Philip Best from the original version that was released on the Quality Time album. Both versions are great, but the mini CD single has the best Trevor Brown artwork ever! It's worth it to pick this one up if you can find it. It's worth it for the depraved artwork alone.

Funny, a few of the bottom-ranked ones are among my favourites! "Birthdeath...", "Erector", "Thank Your Lucky Stars" - what are they doing in the bottom 5?!

impulse manslaughter

Yes, the ranking is personal. Great White Death is one of my favorites.  Mummy & Daddy and Quality Time are actually the only ones don't have. Need to check them out.

Really??? Mummy & Daddy is easily their best album in my opinion too. A truly devastating listen.

I was thinking the same. New Britain at the 18th place...
