LEVELLERS – Greatest Hits
3LP + Bonus DVD – Vinyl
Compiled by the band themselves, this 3 LP set includes all the Levellers’ singles together on one album for the first time.
From the folk punk roots of Carry Me, through the anthemic One Way, Fifteen Years and the chart topping Hope Street, Just The One and Beautiful Day – more recent tracks such as Truth Is, Burn America Burn, The Cholera Well and The Recruiting Sgt (yes, the WarChild version with the swearing) show the Levellers’ mix of scathing political comment and positive DIY attitude to life hasn’t dissipated over the years.
Most exciting of all, there are brand new recordings of the Levellers collaborating with contemporary artists re-working some of their classic material.
Imelda May is the queen of all time on Beautiful Day; while Bellowhead and the legendary Billy Bragg help the band out on Just The One and Hope Street respectively.
Finally, lifelong Levellers fan Frank Turner joined the band in the studio to breathe new life into Julie – bringing us back full circle for another generation of the disenfranchised to discover the Levellers for the first time.
