Radiohead - Creep

What is so interesting to me is that there is no "parental advisory" sticker on the "Pablo Honey" cd. The uncensored version also appears on the Capitol Records 60th Anniversary Box Set which also has no parental advisory sticker!

I can't answer for certain that the censored version was the single version but the cd EMI 32393 "Loaded Volume 1" cd states it is the single version.

Thanks for the info, Aaron, Pat, and Ed. Am I correct that DJ copies of this single are censored just like commercial copies? If so, it might be useful for the database to note that both dj and commercial copies of this single run (3:59) and feature the censored version.

Here is an interesting article that helps answer that question:

In short, the label and artist is not REQUIRED to place a sticker on the album. Most labels will allow a profanity or two to slip by before placing an advisory warning on it. I believe the reason for this is because Wal-Mart will not sell any albums with the "parental advisory" label. So, if they can avoid slapping a sticker on, that means they can sell it to Wal-Mart without having to create a censored version.

Another more recent example is the Black Eyed Peas' Monkey Business. There are a few tracks that have explicit lyrics, most notably "My Humps" and "Pump It." However, the label decided only to release one version of this album WITHOUT a sticker. I bought my copy at Wal-Mart with all the crude language included :)
