Best of Billy Bragg At The BBC 1983 - 2019

by Billy Bragg

supported by

Bruce Grossman Long time fan. I saw him while in High School around Workers Playtime was about to come out.

sunscape A wonderful journey through 36 years of pop and politics that still stands strong. Fantastic versions of many classics... Favorite track: St. Swithin's Day (Tom Robinson Now Playing ‘Billy Bragg Takeover’, 14th July 2019).
