2. `Back to Basics' is THE headline banner that has dogged throughout his career and so it was the perfect title for a compilation of his debut mini LP `Life's a Riot with spy vs. Spy', his first LP proper `Brewing Up' and his top ten EP `Between the Wars'/5(19).

8. "A New England" and "Between the Wars" are two of Bragg's best known tunes, and perfect examples of his unique urban folk sound. If you're a new Billy Bragg fan, this is the album to begin with. Even if you're not that enthusiastic about Bragg, I highly recommend picking this CD up. Pure genius!/5(23).
