I have not came across anything that is specifically about the filthy 15 but there is some work done on the censorship of music in Britain more broadly, particularly the work of Professor Martin Cloonan from the mid 90s:
- (1995) Popular music and censorship in Britain: an overview. Popular Music and Society, 19 (3). pp. 75-104.
- (1995) 'I fought the law': popular music and British obscenity law. Popular Music, 14 (3). pp. 349-363.
- (1996) Banned! : Censorship of Popular Music in Britain, 1967-92. Series: Popular cultural studies, 9 . Arena, Aldershot
The last one is up on Amazon at the min: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/1857423003/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&sr=8-4&qid=1408038372
There was also a documentary broadcast on BBC Four not too long ago called Britains Most Dangerous Songs: Listen to the Banned (Jenny Macleod, 2014).
I hope this was useful
All the best

It's not really answering the question(s), but I remember Bill Hicks doing a great stand-up routine about the trial of Judas Priest in the US . . . it's a rebuttal of a simplistic media effects model, with added swearing

Subject: Heavy Metal & The Filthy Fifteen
Dear Colleagues,
I was hoping someone could assist with a research question. Does anyone know of any academic work that has been done on the 'Filthy Fifteen,' the list of 15 songs that were banned in 1984 because of offensive material. Further, any work done on the media effects argument of Judas Priest/ Ozzy Osbourne/ Twisted Sister from around the same time?
Thank you for your time,
Best Wishes
William Proctor
