I've just been exploring a list of records banned by the BBC, to try & find out when a song was first banned, & what it was.
The Cole Porter song Love For Sale appears, having been banned in 1930, but I'm sure there must be earlier examples.
Does anyone know of earlier instances from around the world ??
Similarly, does anyone have any stories or thoughts about particular banned songs ? or about banning & censorship in general ?
I'm prepared to be in a minority of one concerning my interest in this matter...
