Lily Allen - F*** You

   I see on the US Promo single on discogs there was no clean version issued, the first track is explicit and a bunch of remixes...

There appears to be a 3:41 issued digitally that is clean. Without having to order a Europe CD promo, anyone know where to find a clean copy on CD. Checked Qobuz and 7Digital already, but they have explicit versions of her album...

	Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

	LOL ... loved this song. Richie, someone provided me with the cleaned version when the song was out but only an mp3. I can't recall where I got it as it's so long ago. The clean one as I recall dropped out the f-bombs and I think replaced some with little novelty noises ... i'll have to listen and see later tonight. MM

	I don't know about retailers of non-lossy downloads (my ears can't tell the difference anyway), but a 'clean' version of the It's Not Me, It's You album was released on iTunes in January 2009 (a couple of months after the 'explicit' version). I purchased the clean download of "F* You" in February 2009 (Capitol-EMI iTunes files were already 256 kbps by then; most other labels were still 128kbps). This supposedly 'clean' digital album, however, still had an explicit version of one song, "Back To The Start", so iTunes designated this version of the album 'explicit' as well. These two non-deluxe versions of the album remain on iTunes today, both labelled 'explicit', but one actually has the clean version of "F* You" (with the 'novelty noises' Mark mentions). But as I said, I don't know if this clean-except-for- one-song version of the album is available in a non- lossy format.
