Yep Roc to Reissue Billy Bragg Albums

Yep Roc Records has announced four simultaneous reissues of Billy Bragg back-catalog titles, each including a bonus disc of rare and previously unreleased material.

Set for a September 20 release, the albums will be available individually and as a box set that will include an additional booklet and DVD of unreleased live footage.

The releases will include 1983's Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy, an EP that sold over 100,000 copies in Bragg’s native U.K. This is followed by 1984's Brewing Up With Billy Bragg, 1986's Talking With the Taxman About Poetry, and a release that combines 1990's The Internationale and 1988's Live & Dubious EPs. Each release will feature the remastered original and a second disc of bonus material, much of it previously unavailable and handpicked by Bragg and longtime cohorts Grant Showbiz and Wiggy.
