Bragg's 3rd Album on Limited Edition Solid Blue Vinyl!
Remastered by John Webber at AIR Studios Using High-Res Transfers from Master Tapes in Billy's Archives!

Talking with the Taxman About Poetry is the third album by Billy Bragg, originally released in September 1986.

This long overdue vinyl reissue comes in a gatefold sleeve and was remastered by John Webber at AIR Studios using high-resolution transfers made from master tapes in Billy's archives. There will also be a limited edition run of coloured vinyl albums.

For Talking with the Taxman About Poetry, Bragg embraced a more fully realised band sound with the help of special guests Kirsty MacColl and Johnny Marr and production courtesy of John Porter (Roxy Music, The Smiths) and Kenny Jones. Taxman… was his first top ten album and gave the world some of his most enduring songs in "Greetings to the New Brunette" (his first top 40 hit), live favourite "Levi Stubbs' Tears" about a victim of domestic abuse taking comfort in the music of the Four Tops, and classic workers' anthem "There Is Power in a Union."
