Bought it based on comments here. One listen through so far, not sure i am convinced, but will give it another few listens. Sounded to me a bit like a sweary Billy Bragg, which may not be a bad thing.

Thanks very much David. Much of it is unknown to me but has to be worth a go at that price.

A fifth was mentioned, but not sure if it ever got released. Sadly, there was all sorts of bad vibes about the series because one or two of the artists (and I do mean one or two) have rather challenging political opinions.... |

For me it would mean racist etc. Yep, Far Right stuff...there's a weird crossover point with some of the very furthest reaches of the Wyrd Folk people. It's a tiny minority, of course... e.g. Tony Wakeford of Sol Invictus was a member of the BNP in the 80's...and has never really renounced such views. I was going to say it's not black and white (hmmm) but, really, it is. |

Hmm, a quick google of Mr Wakeford doesn't make for particularly pleasant reading does it. Still, as you say, a minority, and it shouldn't be allowed to invalidate, or whatever a better word would be, the remainder of the music.

Quite different to his later records, but the foundations are there... |

My pressing is black vinyl.
It is a lovely looking box with a great booklet too.
I wonder if the rest of the CD sets will have vinyl pressings too.
A great bargain, Thanks for the tip off David.

I'd be amazed if they did. Sales were not that great. |
