A trio of Eighties reissues by Billy Bragg due in November

I first became aware of these albums when I did research for my interview with Bragg for his album 'Don't Try This at Home.' I look forward to experiencing these fresh re-releases.... 

English folk/rock singer/songwriter Billy Bragg - best known in America for the late '80s/early '90s alt-rock radio hits "Sexuality," "You Woke Up My Neighbourhood," "She's Got a New Spell" and "Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards" - will reissue three of his classic albums – ‘Brewing Up With Billy Bragg’ (1984), ‘Talking With The Taxman About Poetry’ (1986) and ‘Workers Playtime’ (1988) – on Nov. 6 via Cooking Vinyl. 

The remastered vinyl was handled by John Webber at Air Studios from high-resolution transfers taken from master tapes in Billy Bragg's archives. Each album will be in a gatefold sleeve. The titles will also be available on CD and a limited edition run of colored LPs.
