The band featured the legendary Danny Thompson on double bass, BJ Cole on pedal steel, Bruce Thomas (Elvis Costello \u0026amp; The Attractions) on bass and Micky Waller on drums. Licking his wounds after another victory for Margaret Thatcher at the ’87 general election, he wrote ‘Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards’, one of his most enduring songs, while the stunning a capella ‘Tender Comrade’ confronts the ugly prejudice of the moral majority. Melancholy and disillusionment are part and parcel of Bragg’s songwriting, but always with a healthy dash of optimism.","brand":"LASGO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58657429520765,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/5008\/5193\/files\/Bulk1_RSDWaxandBeansTemplate-41_15735330-30d3-4fcf-903f-50c30cc1eafa.png?v=1788970856"},{"product_id":"billy-bragg-talking-with-the-taxman-about-poetry-2026-reissue-multiple-store-exclusive-blue-clear-splatter-vinyl","title":"Billy Bragg - Talking With The Taxman About Poetry (2026 Reissue) (Multiple Store Exclusive) (Blue \u0026 Clear Splatter Vinyl)","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\nTalking with the Taxman About Poetry is the third album by Billy Bragg, originally released in September 1986.Talking with the Taxman About Poetry is the third album by Billy Bragg, originally released in September 1986.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis long overdue vinyl reissue comes in a gatefold sleeve and was remastered by John Webber at Air Studios using high-resolution transfers made from master tapes in Billy's archives.
