To celebrate the 30th anniversary of his seminal 1983 debut recording life’s a riot with spy vs spy, Billy Bragg released a special edition comprising the original album re-mastered, plus a new, live solo version by billy recorded as a unique encore at his London Union Chapel show on Wednesday 5 June 2013.

Billy says life’s a riot with spy vs spy has a very special place in his heart, `being the first step on a 30 year journey that has seen me travel to places that I could never have imagined back in 83. Also, as it’s only 17 minutes long, I can knock the whole album out as an encore if the fancy takes me – no need to book the Royal Albert Hall and the London symphony orchestra.
