Classic Album: Billy Bragg - Life's A Spy

Steve speaks to Billy Bragg about his 1983 album Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy

In the second part of Steve's Classic Album series, he speaks to Billy Bragg about his 1983 album 'Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy'.

This was Bragg's first album. The original album played at 45 rpm rather than the more usual 33.3 rpm, contained only seven songs and lasted for only 15 minutes and 57 seconds.

However, rather than being classified as an EP, it qualified for the UK albums chart and reached number 30 in January 1984.
