Stop the Violence-different version[edit]

There was a completely different version of "Stop the Violence" recorded with someone called Jamrock Massive (it's on discogs.com), released mysteriously contemporaneously with the Jive/By All Means Necessary version. It was a Single of the Week in the NME in the UK and was played two or three times on BBC Radio 1 by John Peel. The lyrics were almost identical, but the music was completely different (this was NOT a remix - it was even a different tempo).

I was gutted when I bought the album to find it wasn't this version! This fantastic record, however obscure it is, should be acknowledged somewhere in the BDP/KRS One pages. Word! as we used to say.

Fair use rationale for Image:BDPByAllMeans.jpg[edit]

Image:BDPByAllMeans.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
