You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''"Roman P"''' is a song by [[Psychic TV]] about director [[Roman Polanski]].

"Roman P." was first performed in nascent form during Psychic TV's 1983 gigs. This early version can be found on the live albums ''[[N.Y. Scum]]'' and ''[[Those Who Do Not]]''. Of the many versions of the song, the best known is the "Fireball Mix" (from the [[The Magickal Mystery D Tour EP|''Magickal Mystery D Tour'']] EP), which was featured in a mid-1990s [[Volkswagen]] commercial, to the confusion of many fans.

==Single==
The A-side of the original 7" single release features the "Short Version" of the titular song. The B-side, credited to [[Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth]] and entitled "Neurology," contains a message from Mr. Sebastian, a spokesman for TOPY, as well as collaged speeches by [[Charles Manson]] and [[Jim Jones]] which run simultaneously in different stereo channels, and references to [[Sharon Tate]].<ref>Wells, Simon (2009) ''Charles Manson: Coming Down Fast'', Hodder, ((ISBN|978-0340977033))</ref> The B-side is double-grooved, which results in hearing either one of the two tracks when it is played from the start. The B-sides, the Fireball Mix, and the full-length recording of the original studio version of "Roman P" (which Sordide Sentimental previously released on the 1987 [[CD-Video]] ''Listen Today...''), later appeared on the compilation CD ''Godstar: The Singles - Pt. Two''. 

The first edition was limited to 3003 numbered copies. There is a second edition of unknown unnumbered copies.

"Roman P" gave the band their first hit, reaching number 13 on the [[UK Independent Chart]] and staying on the chart for nine weeks.<ref>Lazell, Barry (1997) ''Indie Hits 1980-1989'', Cherry Red Books, ((ISBN|0-95172-069-4)), p. 179</ref>

==Reissue with "Good Vibrations"==
"Roman P" was re-issued as a double A-side in 1986 with a [[cover version]] of "[[Good Vibrations]]". The single reached number 48 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] and number 65 on the [[Billboard Hot 100]].<ref>Roberts, David (2004) ''Guinness British Hit Singles and Albums - 17th Edition'', Guinness World Records Limited, ((ISBN|978-0851121994)), p. 440</ref><ref>Rust, Victor (2010) ''The Cliff Richard Recording Catalogue'', ((ISBN|978-0956738400)), p. 176</ref>
