Chumbawamba: Farewell to the Crown CD (B-Sides and Rarities)

Speaking of Chumbawamba (more HERE) and their sole HIT, "Tubthumping (see HERE), let us not neglect that single's phenomenal B-side, "Farewell to the Crown". It's a delicious mix of Pistols-ish treason ("Goodbye to the king of nothing really"), British folk-traditionalism (that's the legendary Oysterband backing them up) and the requisite BPMs (and who's really tried that mix before?)

This blatant bootleg, collects up B-sides, re-mixes, rarities and web-site freebies from the band's nineties era. Obviously, not everything here is as essential as "Farewell to the Crown" but it's fascianting portait of the depth of a group 99% of the world will forever consider One Hit Wonders.
