Billy Bragg - Reel Around the Fountain

I'd forgotten all about this, until iTunes threw it up.

In 2004 Billy Bragg released a download only album live at the Barbican.

Track 17 Cindy of a Thousand Dreams segues into Reel Around the Fountain

ps - While I'm at it, you can also have Back to the Old House from Disc2 of Brewing Up With

I'm trying to remember which one includes Johnny on Guitars and keeps going in and out of a Smiths song...

Still looking for the Johnny one, but here's


Never Had No One Ever - from William Bloke Disc 2 - originally on Smiths Is Dead

From Passions: In an interview to Q Magazine in 1992, Morrissey said: "It must be very hard to be Billy Bragg, but I won't say why! Actually, I retract that, I'm a big fan of his."

63 views and 17 downloads shows that someone is interested - it's not just me having a conversation with myself. Is it?

Anyway, found the other tracks

3 tracks from the bonus CD of "Brewing Up With"
Recorded on 10th January 1986 by Wiggy in Billy's flat, Acton Lane, London. Johnny Marr plays guitar and tambourine and adds vocals

• The Last Time http://www.sendspace.com/file/ijeh3w (I assume it's Johnny singing backing)
• Back to the Old House http://www.sendspace.com/file/qp7tb6
• A Lover Sings (with This Charming Man throughout. Beautiful ) http://www.sendspace.com/file/ivaiul

I met Billy years ago before a gig in Preston - I asked him what it was like to work with Johnny Marr - they are obviously friends, Billy said it was lots of fun, Johnny has a studio in his house, Billy would record something, go to bed and then when he got up, he'd find Johnny had continued to work on the track and it sounded completely different - around the time of William Bloke in 1996

Thanks for uploading this!
I got both of Bragster's boxes Volume I and Volume II - truely brilliant.
Don't you forget that Live at the Barbican has also track called Morrissey's Rubber Sheet (talk), which is quite funny

Ha ha, yes, Billy staying at Morrissey's one New Year's Eve, top floor of Morrissey's house, Thomas the Tank Engine bed sheets and Jimmy Sommerville stealing the hot water bottle - you can fast forward to 3mins 40.
