The album was banned by several major retailers including HMV due to its sexually explicit title and cover art.[2][3][4] Under the direction of James Anderton copies were seized, along with other records by Crass and Dead Kennedys, by Greater Manchester Police from Eastern Bloc record shop, who were charged with displaying "Obscene Articles For Publication For Gain".[2][3][5] The album's lyrical content concerned violence between men and women, based on the experiences of a band member who had been sexually assaulted. The title was a Dada-style ploy to get attention for this social message. The band, its two record labels and its publishing company were also charged under the Obscene Publications Act, but all charges were dropped.
The Fucking Cunts... reached number two on the UK Indie Chart, spending fifteen weeks on the chart in total.[1][4] It was reissued in 1986 on band member Derek Birkett's own One Little Indian label.
