Thankyou for cheering up a dull monday evening.
Downloaded and listening now.
Reminds me I need to get my Redskins 12"s out of the loft and onto the iPod.
Out of interest will the band see any royalties from this album?
Also during the miners strike there was a benefit album brought out that I think had a Redskins track on but definitely had a Chumbawumba track on called Fitzwilliam? I had it and lost it. Do you remember what it was called?

I paid the songwriters fees for using the Redskins songs to MCPS (Mechanical Copyright Protection Society) www.mcps.co.uk They sort out who owns the songs and the money is fowarded to them.

I have 2 miners benefit records - The 'Wake Up' EP which features 6 tracks and included the Redskins cover of 'Levi Stubbs Tears' and the 'Here We Go' album. Neither records feature Chumbawumba. Unless they recorded under a false name as a lot of artists on the 'Here We Go' LP remained anonymous due to contractual reasons.

Wanted to buy this album, but together with "delivery in Russia" this will dispense me much dearly. Can somewhere possible get free mp3?

I'm glad you like the Redskins tribute. Negu Gorriak's version of Unionize is great. You should try to track down a copy of their last album "Salam, Agur". This features covers versions by bands which influenced Negu Gorriak. As well as the Redskins cover the band also cover songs by The Clash, Public Enemy, Minor Threat, Bob Marley, The Who, Dead Kennedys, Ottis Redding & N.W.A.

Negu Gorriak's singer Fermin Muguruza was supposed to be recording a cover of "Turnin' Loose" for the Redskins tribute but couldn't find the time as he was on tour. It was a shame as I'm sure he'd of done a great version of it.

Kortau was the early Fermin Muguruza´s band and was very influencied by The Redskins, musical and aesthetically. Etxerat! (To Home!) is a song that perfectly could be made by The Redskins, of fact Kotartu name The Redskins in their lirycs and the intro is Unionize anthem.
