I've never asked anyone, but I believe there is a photo of the very thing of which you speak near the bottom.
Amusingly, the document around the middle from 1985 is a list of foreign music groups youth discos should not play, along with the anti-Soviet message allegedly propagandized by the group. Here's a partial list:
GROUP (WHAT THEY PROPAGANDIZE) Sex Pistols (punk, violence) B-52s (punk, violence) Clash (punk, violence) Stranglers (punk, violence) Kiss (neofascism, punk, violence) Styx (violence, vandalism) Iron Maiden (violence, religious superstition) Judas Priest (anticommunism, racism) ACDC (neofascism, violence) Sparks (neofascism, racism) Black Sabbath (violence, religious superstition) Pink Floyd (perversion of Soviet foreign policy) Talking Heads (myth of the Soviet military threat -- what the hell are they talking about????) Donna Summer (eroticism) Tina Turner (sex) Ramones (punk) Van Halen (anti-Soviet propaganda) Julio Iglesias (neofascism) Yazoo (punk, violence) Village People (violence -- guess they didn't notice the whole gay thing going on there) 10cc (neofascism) Blondie (punk, violence)
