Old Vinyl (Continued)

 

Billy Bragg - Levi Stubbs Tears

One more from Billy Bragg, Levi Stubbs Tears.
Backed up with Think Again and Walk away Renee (Version).

Levi is a great tune showing Billy's talents, Think again is an anti war song, and my favourite is Walk Away Renee which includes some brilliant lyrics.
My Vinyl Rip of Walk away seems to have a wonky ending despite the record not being warped?
Maybe this was fixed on the later version or I might just have a mis-press?

Billy Bragg - Life's A Riot

Billy Bragg - Life's A Riot With Spy Vs Spy (Vinyl Rip)
Never sure if this was classed as an album or 12" EP? as the running time is under 16 minutes for the 7 tracks and it's a 45rpm.
Brilliant record that I've played to death for years.
Something for everyone with the classic tunes such as 'The Man in the Iron Mask' and 'the Milkman of Human Kindness', and the well known 'A New England'.
Other tracks are 'Richard', 'The Busy Girl', 'To Have and Have Not' and the short and sharp 'Lovers Town Revisited'.

Billy Bragg - Between The Wars

Still one of my favourites, Billy's 4 track EP.
Between the wars, Which side are you on, World turned upside down, It says here.
All great tracks which summed up the misery that was Tory government. Although some great music and comedy was born from this period we must never let them back in, whatever you think of Brown.

Billy Bragg

Been a fan of Billy Bragg since I bought the Between the wars EP, which had the excellent World turned upside down on side 2, so I rushed out and bought his latest album at the time "Life's a riot with spy vs spy" (never did understand the title?).
Played that one to death for years, know every lyric and every word meant something to me.
