The Ambiguous Title of the Song

There appears to be some ambiguity as to the title of the song.

On the back of the single, the song title is listed as "The dicks hate the Police", while on the single itself, the song is listed as "Dicks Hate The Police". See pictures here.

On the back of Recorded Live at Raul's Club, the song is listed simply as "DICKS HATE POLICE". See pictures here.

The song is titled "Dicks Hate The Police". ^[1] The Hog release is an officially sanctioned by the band. So two releases authorized by the band directly have Dicks Hate the Police as the song title, where as the Live at Raul's was put out with little input from either band and contains several typos and errors (for instance, the Big Boys side lists Authority as on the record, when it doesn't appear). It should not confuse the matter. Dietsociety (talk) 13:59, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
