The Housemartins, one of the most popular Indie Band from 1985-1986 with sounds comparible to early Smiths, Aztc Camera and folky Billy Bragg with a political message in the lyrics. This Album displays their ability to perform Live as well as richly layer live acapella. Many new versions never heard before include on the LP. A must for all Beautiful South fans, Paul Heaton fans alike. First timers start with Best of... or London 0 Hull 4. Throughout the album Paul Heaton shows off his great pipes and bravado, the band holds up well. "Caravan" is the Best Leftist Gospel you'll ever hear.

If you love the Housemartins like I do, then your in for a special treat. Some great live tracks of your favorites. Enjoy!!!

I love the range of songs on this CD. It has all the great songs that make them The Housemartins, like Happy Hour, Caravan of Love, We're Not Deep, Build, Me and the Farmer, etc. I especially love the version of Shelter; it's different than other ones I've heard. It's slower and it shows the awesome harmony of the group. I had never heard some of the songs that are on this CD such as: Heaven Help Us All, Mercy, So Glad, and He Brought Me Out. I think these make this CD even that much better.
