"Around" is banned because it's the album where Tom doesn't use the f-word.

Are the albums out in the UK on their own terms, or are all of Brits
listening to exported copies?  I know Tom used to be more commercially
successful in the UK (Adventure charting, The Wonder not being relesased in
the US, Tom living in London, etc.) so that'd be a bit of a turnaround.

-Rex, maybe gonna review "Around" later today...
