This article says both that the film was released in 1981 and 1982. Which is correct? Or why have two dates? I agree this is an important film which documents many important performers. But this article would benefit from more citations and sources. Jdubowsky 02:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that it was released in 1981 in the UK and in 1982 in the US, but I don't have a citable source. --MCB 03:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Alley Cats
This band is not from Malaysia. See this page, and Trouser Press. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SGRoy (talk • contribs) 15:19, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Down in the Park
The version of Urgh: A Music War shown on Comcast's INHD channel does include Gary Numan's performance of "Down in the Park," futuristic go-kart and all. That may invalidate the theory that Numan has refused permission to show this on TV. 66.28.71.162 18:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Double album and other tips
I happen to own a copy of the Double-LP, and I can tell you that the songs aren't arranged in the same order as in this article. I can also tell you that some of them were re-released on the 1989 compilation These People Are Nuts. Perhaps a chapter on the album should be added to this article.

 * Has it ever been released on CD? (My copy of the LP got misplaced over the years...). AnonMoos (talk) 19:47, 18 June 2010 (UTC)


 * For some reason I don't think it was. If somebody can tell us otherwise, I'd like to know. DanTD (talk) 00:10, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I looked on Amazon.com and it was issued on CD. However, it is not currently available although new CD copies are being sold by private parties on the site for over $200.  I'm glad I still have my vinyl copy. Alanraywiki (talk) 01:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Name
Why was it called ''Urgh! A Music War''? There's no war, and Urgh! question mark? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:46, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Non-Featured Bands
Not sure why this was added in the tracklisting, but Martha and The Muffins, Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias, Talking Heads, and the Cure did not appear in the film. I suggest that they be removed. Some of the other bands, which include The Alley Cats, John Otway, and the Fleshtones, were removed and also replaced. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:440E:148E:AC4F:80EC:A7E7:D1B5 (talk) 04:46, 22 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Our anonymous friend is correct. I am in the middle of making myself a copy of this DVD with track/chapter locations "where they should be", and the listing in this article deviates exactly as they say. If there is not a revision we can go back to, I will edit in the correct information later. Also, I think we should list the venues next to the band/title. Opinions on that? Huw Powell (talk) 23:24, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * If you could fix any errors in the band listing, that would be great. Adding venue/location would also be great, and help with disputes about what locations are or are not featured in the film. I have the DVD, but it's been many years since I've watched it. Been meaning to address this article, but haven't gotten to it. CAVincent (talk) 13:57, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

There's been some definite vandalism to the article in the past, but I don't feel like going through it in detail track-by-track at the moment. In case anyone does, here's a listing I made when I was trying to figure out which songs occur in which 10-minute segments (the only structuring on the DVD): AnonMoos (talk) 21:56, 18 April 2022 (UTC)


 * OK, I finally got around to fixing all the vandalism I could see... AnonMoos (talk) 11:53, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
