Notes

"All Good clean fun and ultimately harmless"
"A collection of stuff from 1986-1998"
Upteen years of one-legged men at arse-kicking parties.

Track 3 is the single version, but it's not listed as such.

All songs on "Uneasy Listening" were written, recorded and produced by Chumbawamba between 1986 and 1998 except for "We Don't go to God's House Anymore", written by Chumbawamba and Alabama 3.

Sleeve photograph of Benaventura Durruti, anarchist soldier and revolutionary, who died fighting the fascists in Spain in 1936. An interviewer once asked Durruti what the point of winning would be when even victory would leave the revolutionaries with only a pile of rubble. Durruti replied:

"We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will know how to accommodate ourselves for a time. For you must not forget, we can also build. It is we who built those palaces and cities here in Spain and America and everywhere. We, the workers, can build others to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth. There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world, here in our hearts. That world is growing this minute."

Back sleeve photograph of Emma Goldman, anarchist orator and organiser. Emma Goldman was a free thinker and a tireless and eloquent campaigner for human and sexual freedom during the early part of the 20th century. Anti-authoritarian, she fought small-minded peers as well as governments, capitalism and prejudice. When she said: "It's not my revolution if I can't dance to it," she understood that personal freedom and a right to enjoyment have to go hand-in-hand with social change.
