Some of the talk segments consist of rants of five or more minutes. Some of the songs contain talk segments also. I'd forgotten how brilliant Billy Bragg's performances are. The pleasure is greatest if your politics lie at least slightly left of center, of course, but everyone will throughly appreciate this. Faults: Virtually none. About as fine a recording as can be made from the audience with concealed mics. note: t36: revised (parenthood) lyrics Billy Bragg - songwriter, except t13: lyrics by Rudyard Kipling t26: by Bob Dylan musician: Billy Bragg - vocals, electric guitar No artwork.
