The first time I heard one of their early 'Sky And Trees' tapes I knew that Chumbawamba were going to catch on. They were unlike anything that had gone before but captured the spirit of the best that had, and they got my toes tapping and my grey matter whirring. Each release felt like it was built on the foundations of the last, and they weren't afraid to allow their own likes to seep into the mix. A Chumbawamba record is a work of passion, whether you actually like the end result or not. For sure, they had a bit of a wasteland period where things seemed to stagnate for a while, but we've all been there. Their latest incarnation is a return to form, and I'd recommend grabbing a copy of 'A Singsong And A Scrap' if you haven't already.

'Jesus H Christ' is an extremely rare bootleg (possibly 500 pressed?) from the anarcho-pranksters when they were at a creative peak, and it could only be found in the kind of places your mother warned you about. The band eventually remixed this and released it as 'Shhh' after apparently running into all kinds of legal difficulties regarding the use of samples, but this is how they originally intended it to sound. 'Shhh!' is a great album but this bootleg adds the final polish. There's loads of family fun to be had sample-spotting too. The wiki entry on 'Shhh!' has a good breakdown of the differences between the two albums and is worth a read.

From the sleeve:

"individual possession is the great entering wedge, which has split society into eight hundred million fragments. it virtually, practically and theoretically denies the brotherhood of man." (hiram stafford, 1844)
