I managed to get only Mothermania (and even that from Germany), and one of my roommates had the Burnt Weeny Sandwich, but that was one semester only, and his record killer didn't sound too good. IOW, didn't understand much ;).

Which was amazing, that we weren't getting as much of those really revolutionary guys. The Party was puritan in its own way. They have removed the sexual and other liberation from their original (pre-WW) program and replaced it with military-style stiffness. Even though it got verrrry liberal after 1968, there were some limits.
