Chumbawamba - Swingin' With Louise (Full Album)

This is an idea I've kicked around for YEARS - so I finally decided to make it a reality. :) Chumbawamba's 1995 album "Swingin' With Raymond" was an interesting concept, where the album was split into two distinct halves - "love songs" and "hate songs." The "love" half was lightweight, 1990's pop radio fare, all with Lou Watts on vocals; while the "hate" half was more typical of Chumbawamba; noisy, shouty, angry, with either Danbert or Alice on vocals. However, a number of B-sides and rarities exist from this time, almost all of which appear to be leftovers from the "love" half. So I wondered.... what if we put all of the "love" tracks into their own cohesive album? Thus, "Swingin' With Louise" was born. All tracks from the "love" sessions were used, including "Last Taxi Ride" and the alternate "This Girl", which only circulate on a bootleg cassette; I've speed-corrected, noise reduced and re-EQ'd them (also correcting glitches where necessary), to sound far superior than the original source. I also tweaked the circulating copy of "Kiss Kiss Kiss" a bit; the only version of this song online is a poor rip from a scarce, pricey concert-only 45, so I made the most of that, re-EQ'ing the track, repairing the missing half-second, removing vinyl noise, and editing a drop-out from the ending. So, without further ado, enjoy! 01) Last Taxi Ride - 0:00 02) This Girl - 3:39 03) Never Let Go - 7:24 04) Love Can Knock You Over - 11:27 05) Just Look At Me Now - 15:01 06) Not The Girl I Used To Be - 18:24 07) Mannequin - 22:27 08) The Morning After (The Night Before) - 24:58 09) Kiss Kiss Kiss - 28:31 10) Safety-Pin Stuck In My Heart (A Love Song For Punk) - 31:05 11) Nothing Knocks Me Over - 33:37 12) Just Look At Me Now [Borstal Boy Mix] - 36:37 13) This Girl [Piano Mix] - 39:53 LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE for more of Just Plain Steve, and more gems from the Man In Magenta Wig vaults!
