Album Info

Release Date: 1988

Label: Agit Prop

White outer sleeve. This is the original pressing, done on the cusp of Agit-Prop's move from Red Rhino distribution to Southern Studios. The sleeves had been printed and stickers were applied to the lower back corner to cover up "Distributed by Red Rhino" and "Made In England" to say "Distributed by Southern Studios" and "Made In France". The later printed version of the sleeve without the amendment sticker is English Rebel Songs 1381-1914.

The whole album is "a cappella".
Recorded at Woodlands Studio, April 1988.
Distributed by Southern Studios.
Made in France.

Chumbawamba on this recording are:
Harry, Simon Commonknowledge, Lou, Boff, Mavis Dillon, Cobie Laan, Danbert Nobacon
Alice Nutter was otherwise engaged

Die-cut cover reveals a part of the inner sleeve (an old gravure appears on each side).
Suggested retail price on front sleeve: "Pay no more than £4"

Cat# variations:
PROP 3 (cover and runout etchings)
