@NewHangUps No, thank you! I first heard old Chumba (Liberation) on Overground Record's "Anarcho Punk Compilation Vol. 2" in 2005. It took me a year or so to track this EP down. I kept missing final bids on eBay because of work/inebriation and when I finally got my hands on this (at a reasonable price) I made it a point to set up a rig to rip records onto my computer.

Chumbawamba was my favorite band since I was seven and this is the first time a I heard this...... Amazing.

@marcushelbling Glad you like. Search my uploads for Chumbawamba. There's some more oldies.

Thanks a lot for putting this up. It's difficult to find early Chumbawamba.

My favourite part is Boff singing the bridge of Liberation: 7:45 - 8:14.

@DirtyDay123 Check out the video response. I have a lot of old bootlegs and stuff by them. I'll try to get more up sometime in the distant future.

So they went from this to Tubthumper?? I'd say this material is just a little better.

[TheMusicolophile]

Classy.

[ThisYoungLibertine]

@LibertyMike1 this was done over ten years BEFORE Tubthumper....

These guys are part of the reason I became really interested in the left. They really exposed to me the problems of the global economic and political system. They're really... I wish there were more bands out there who were this legitimate. ...and who actually sound good too. I mean, unlike a lot of whiny crust-punk, these guys have a sense of humor and a musical taste that isn't centered around maximum distortion.

@LibertyMike1

its not really about the sound, its about the message.

Thanks for posting this album. I first heard it off community radio when I was a teenager in the 90s and it was awesome, then the tape I recorded it onto from the radio got destroyed. So i've been waiting a while to hear it again. Cheers from toronto
