i listen to billy bragg for a few years now and i've never heard this song. i love the four tops and billy bragg plus i'm from and live in Detroit so it makes it even better
The essence and spirit of the times that Billy Bragg was at his most televised (the mid to late 80's) are essential now, more than ever before.
I'll always respect that he deliberately instructed all record shops (label on front sleeves) to sell his albums, CD's, singles and tapes at a reduced rate. So unemployed and low income earners could afford his music. That was and has remained an inspiration to me in my own work as a voluntary independent media producer.
I saw this wonderful guy on stage at the Roskilde festival in Denmark back in -96. How one guy with just a guitar and his voice could rule the stage and the whole area around with this song and other wonderful songs was really amazing!
Check his new album: Fight Songs. Return to form.

First time I heard "Back to Basics" in the 80's it was a badly needed breath of fresh air , from a one man band it is still amazing..
Good art never fades ..

the trumpet in this song adds an entirely new dimension giving it more depth and flavor. Just makes the whole song more haunting.

Wow, pre-Toni Blair Britain, Billy Bragg, Easterhouse, etc. - these were the days. So sorry, Maggie Thatcher can't remember that time ...
