The Billy Bragg Volume 2 boxed set will be released by Yep Roc Records in the USA on 17th October 2006, completing the reissue of all his albums (excluding the Mermaid Avenue collaborations) that began with the release of Billy Bragg Volume 1 earlier this year.
The reissues will be available individually and as a nine-disc boxed set including a bonus DVD that features an entire televised concert from 1991 and a 2006 live performance.
Volume 2 chronicles Billy's gradual addition of a full band to his formerly sparse guitar and vocal arrangements. The four reissues are 'Workers Playtime', 'Don’t Try This At Home', 'William Bloke' and 'England, Half English'. Each release features re-mastered originals and a second disc of bonus material handpicked by Bragg and longtime cohorts Grant Showbiz and Wiggy — much of which has been previously unavailable.
