I remember playing that on public radio and Negativland intentionally mislabeled the record so DJ's would end up playing the profanity laden version on the radio. Since they got no commercial airplay it seemed like a stupid prank as we were all barely keeping those stations afloat back then when it really mattered. That record also pissed Greg Ginn who felt like Negativland were exploiting his hands off approach to do an obvious marketing ploy that would almost certainly land SST out of business.
It's still great parody but they should have gone at it alone.
Escape from Noise is a great record.
