Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The album title caused actual legal trouble — a UK retailer was prosecuted for displaying 'indecent' material. The band won by proving 'bollocks' was legitimate slang.
Chris Thomas and Bill Price's interviews debunk the myth of chaotic recording sessions — most tracks were meticulously layered because the band couldn't play live together without fighting.
