Brewing Up with Billy Bragg, the English songwriter's second album, came out on Go! Discs on 12 October 1984, and it finds Bragg's mix of folk, punk bite and protest song at its most direct, love songs and politics jostling for elbow room.
"Between The Wars" and "The Saturday Boy" are the ones the countdowns remember. The joke is on the sleeve: the original cover carried the subtitle A Puckish Satire on Contemporary Mores, lifted from Woody Allen's 1975 film Love and Death. The record climbed to number 16 on the UK Albums Chart.
