Stereo Recording of the LP "Dance Hall of Shame"
A silent record released by Virgin Records protesting censorship in music.

from the sleeve:
"If there is one lesson to be learned through our history, it's that freedom of speech has inevitable risks. But the alternative is slavery of mind, in a society empty of thought. If we value the progress of music and expression, we must accept that there will be music we dislike and lyrics that offend. Our responsibility lies in promoting legitimate argument and persuasion. If we do more than this, overstep our bounds with labeling and censorship, then our unwillingness to accept the risk of freedom leaves only one future to our children: No thinking. No talking. No music."
