Visit yesterday to the BHF shop in town.. Frank Turner - Sleep is for the week 99p. 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 for the heads up David Have this in my Spotify library but will be great to own the vinyl box set. Looks like a bargain to me.

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.

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.
