R0UGH TR@DE - AV0ID FREUD (1980)

'Avoid Freud' is the second album from Canadian New Wave band 'Rough Trade'. Released in 1980, it didn't take long for it to make the top 20. The success came mainly due to it's 2 controversial singles. The first being "What's The Furor About The Führer?" b/w "Fashion Victim" (The latter track became the bigger hit). The albums most famous single however is "Highschool Confidential", which was intensely controversial for its explicitly sexual lyrics, which include references to lesbianism. (A cleaned up version was recorded for Radio, which avoided some of the more controversial lines).
