I’d Do Anything (If I Could)
Oh my goodness! What on earth is going on here? This track has Foreman's signature all over it, instantly conjuring up images of Craggy Island. Did Zoom Boy wrap up an epic binge-watching session of Father Ted? The monotonous drone of "I’d Do ...
Crying Shame
The song "Crying Shame" was originally released as the B-side of the 7-inch single "Embarrassment". Despite being overlooked initially, the song is considered one of Barson's best works. "Crying Shame" has a Coasters-inspired sound and stands ...
Give Me A Reason
Grey Day
Mike wrote "the song "Grey Day" before the band became a success in the UK music scene. The first performance came back in 1978 at Acklam Hall, when the band was known as "The North London Invaders."
Israelites
Mike: I was with my brother Dan, we were on our pushbikes, it was the school summer holidays of 1968. We were slowly making our way out of the grime of North London on the long journey to our holiday destination, a railway cottage in Santon ...
Culture Vulture
Okay, it’s been over 30 years in the making—well, not really. Though some might try to draw a strange connection to the song once heard in 1996 at Madstock, this is not that tune. The only common thread here is the title, 'Culture Vulture.' ...
(You) Cant Keep A Good Thing Down
Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...
Never Knew Your Name
Mike: 'Never Knew Your Name' was an old song that'd been kicking around for ages. After the band broke up in the 80s, I was working with Suggs on a project together. We did quite a lot of recording over a few years, and then he got talked into ...
I Chase The Devil AKA Ironshirt
Suggs: I first heard this track on a Lee Perry compilation - it was the last track on a four CD set and what a tremendous thing it is. The music, as always where Mr. Perry is concerned, sounded like it had come from outer space, as did Max ...
In the Rain
'In The Rain' was initially relegated to the 12-inch single of 'My Girl' as an 'otherwise unavailble track' but was an overlooked gem, 'In The Rain', which shared much of the same air of pathos as the A-side with its tale of being jilted on a ...
Chipmunks Are Go!
We did it as an encore, all at the front of the stage,” says Mark, and it’s this that sends shivers down his rhythm pal’s spine. “I had absolutely no love for this whatsoever,” says Woody.

Burning The Boats
Waltz Into Mischief
A Town With No Name
Written by Chris Foreman, who was then the king of B-sides, A Town With No Name was the B-side to the single 'Shut Up' and drew inspiration from the lawless settings of classic Spaghetti Western films. The latter's dramatic and haunting ...
Tiptoes
The Young and the Old
Suggs says the track "The Young and The Old" is about getting drunk in the pub and noticing how old people acted younger as the evening went on. A very astute observation for a man of such tender years!
Dangerman AKA High Wire
Cathal: Take a piece of thread, pass it thru the eye of a needle and wash it in purple sand. Stitch a circle of gold silk to a blue mohair jacket and whisper three times beneath a full moon the incantation... love is the answer... all will be ...
So Much Trouble In The World
Cathal: Since the world began and the first stone was thrown, when violence was born and fashioned daggers from bone, nothing much has changed... protect the weak, don't hang with the freak, keep a smile on your cheek, find the peace that you ...
