Billy Bragg releases a new album Best of Billy Bragg at the BBC 1983-2019. The 38-track collection is ‘fully remastered’ and features 38 tracks compiled from the BBC archive spanning 1983 – 2019. It includes selected highlights from sessions for John Peel, David Jensen, Janice Long, Phill Jupitus, Bob Harris, Tom Robinson and more. Many are previously unreleased.
The collection draws from all corners of Billy’s catalogue and features, among many gems, his signature song A New England (later covered to huge acclaim by Kirsty MacColl), Levi Stubbs’ Tears, and his workers’ anthem There Is Power In A Union, with a couple of atypical covers thrown in, namely John Cale’s Fear Is A Man’s Best Friend and A13, his personal psycho-geography take on Route 66.
