This long overdue vinyl reissue comes in a gatefold sleeve and was remastered by John Webber at Air Studios using high-resolution transfers made from master tapes in Billy's archives. There will also be a limited edition run of coloured vinyl albums. Helmed by legendary producer Joe Boyd (Nick Drake, Fairport Convention et al) and his former Riff Raff bandmate Wiggy, Workers Playtime saw Bragg deliver his most tender and empathetic collection. The band featured the legendary Danny Thompson on double bass, BJ Cole on pedal steel, Bruce Thomas (Elvis Costello \u0026amp; The Attractions) on bass and Micky Waller on drums. Licking his wounds after another victory for Margaret Thatcher at the ’87 general election, he wrote ‘Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards’, one of his most enduring songs, while the stunning a capella ‘Tender Comrade’ confronts the ugly prejudice of the moral majority. Melancholy and disillusionment are part and parcel of Bragg’s songwriting, but always with a healthy dash of optimism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe's Got A New Spell\u003cbr\u003e\nMust I Paint You A Picture\u003cbr\u003e\nTender Comrade\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Price I Pay\u003cbr\u003e\nLittle Time Bomb\u003cbr\u003e\nRotting On Remand\u003cbr\u003e\nValentine's Day Is Over\u003cbr\u003e\nLife With The Lions\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Only One\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Short Answer\u003cbr\u003e\nWaiting For The Great Leap Forwards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Billy Bragg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlbum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Workers Playtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Red Vinyl LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cooking Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e LPCOOK109C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/strong\u003e 711297150988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: This is a pre-order item with a release date of 6.11.26.
