February Releases on Wippit
Madonna - Sorry: Remixes be your own PET - be your own PET
James Blunt - Wisemen Sugababes - Red Dress
Billy Bragg Billy Bragg - Box Set Volume 1

Download Free MP3: 'It Says Here' - free download for limited time only! From the album 'Brewing Up With Billy Bragg' included in the box set.

The one-time Bard of Barking was like a lone voice of sanity crying out in the wilderness of the 1980s. Armed with just a guitar and fuelled by the working class indignation of long-time hero Woody Guthrie and the righteous anger of The Clash, Bragg’s humanity rarely lapsed into empty hectoring as he tackled personal and social politics with warmth and cutting humour. Four of his earliest albums – Life’s A Riot With Spy Vs Spy, Brewing up With Billy Bragg, Talking To the Taxman About Poetry and Internationale / Live & Dubious are released on March 6th as part of the superb Billy Bragg Volume 1 box set. Comprised of seven CDs and two DVDs, this collection also includes a wealth of rare and unreleased material and a unique booklet.
