Most old skool Industrial Bands have suggestive names that point in the
direction of the sexually repressed humour of bedroom ridden (old) skool
(sic) boys.
Lets see, we have Throbbing Gristle( slang for penis), Whitehouse (porn Mag), Surgical Penis Clinik, Nocturnal Emissions (technical newspeak for wet dream), amongst many more.
Then ,by logical progression, does Portion Control refer to ejaculation control? (apparently its bizarrely something to do with food portions!?)
Just a thought, 'cus i've ran out of stuff to say about Portion Control.
When I bought this album I didn't like it, for what reason I haven't the foggiest!....but now I listen with objective ears, and declare it a masterpiece of in your face electronic thuggery.Although those cringingly bad vocals are still omni-present! Ah well.....Nobody's perfect.

I believe "portion control" is actually a term used in catering.
I think the chef used on "A Fair Portion" sorta gives that away. Trust me for relying on low rent humour!
I loved - & I mean LOVED - this album when I was a nipper. And it still sounds terrific. :)
For all I know, portion control is just a dietary term. Like in this definition: “To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume, which inevitably means one thing: portion control.” (http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20769037,00.html)
What with Staggered: I remember listening to it in 1983, 25 years old at the time, ah, stimulated with eyes like glowing coals, and at a very high volume. A miracle my neighbours didn’t kill me…
I still think it’s a masterpiece.
Yeah, i used to do the same,probably with this very LP.My neighbours were frightened of me, so never said 'boo to any ghosts' in my direction.Still do it now.I had one complaint about ten years ago,answered with a silent stare.
