Saw him in Newcastle (1/12/23), he played this album in its entirety (as the encore) on his original guitar, a real moment of genuine nostalgia for me 👌👌
I read the first u.s. article about him in musician magazine. I bought the first record and the ones after it through the mail order. I live in New Jersey... Nobody here understood the music... Certainly not the words!😂
15 of the greatest minutes in the history of popular music.
Simple unadulterated brilliance. Billy Bragg was to the 80's what Dylan was to the 60's. Love this album. Massively underrated.
dylan never attended protests, billy has never stopped.
Nearly lost a good friend when I once proclaimed that bill knocked Dylan into a cocked hat re genuine ideology.

Still got my cassette of this. It went round Africa in my rucksack.
I remember buying this LP it said something like "pay no more than £1.99 for this record" a miniature masterpiece !!
Its £2.99 it says pay no more than, just checked the front of my copy. Well worth every penny.
I remember that sort of thing on cover sleeves
Thanks for posting such a great album.
I like the first sound of this upload!
the needle hits the vinyl!
masterpiece, with scratches and
fighting in the dancehalls - the early stuff
I love the basic quality of the vocals and guitar as they add to the content of the words in the songs.
These are fast disappearing. Thankfully the internet never forgets!
The Milkman of Human Kindness

.
If you're lonely, I will call
If you're poorly, I will send poetry
I love you
I am the milkman of human kindness
I will leave an extra pint
If you're sleeping, I will wait
If your bed is wet, I will dry your tears
I love you
I am the milkman of human kindness
I will leave an extra pint
Hold my hand for me I'm waking up
Hold my hand for me I'm waking up
Hold my hand for me I'm making up
Won't you hold my hand - I'm making up
If you are falling, I'll put out my hands
If you feel bitter, I will understand
I love you
I am the milkman of human kindness
I will leave an extra pint
