Life’s A Riot With Spy vs Spy (RSD22)

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of his seminal 1983 debut recording Life’s a Riot with Spy vs Spy, Billy Bragg released a special edition comprising the original album re-mastered, plus a new, live solo version by Billy recorded as a unique encore at his London Union Chapel show on Wednesday 5 June 2013. Billy says Life’s a Riot with Spy vs Spy has a very special place in his heart, `being the first step on a 30 year journey that has seen me travel to places that I could never have imagined back in 83. Also, as it’s only 17 minutes long, I can knock the whole album out as an encore if the fancy takes me – no need to book the Royal Albert Hall and the London Symphony Orchestra.’
