The classic album by the classic line-up - capturing the Blaggers sound as it should be heard - live, rough and ready.

The brass section was augmented by Olaf, who went on the form German Oi! band The Stage Bottles. Olaf now performs vocal duties for reformed Blaggers AKA.

The CD includes four tracks from Blaggamuffin (which were formerly available on vinyl only).

Album engineer Paul Harding went on to run London acid techno label Stay Up Forever with Aaron, Chris and Julian Liberator and record as Mish Mash, Cosmic Trigger, Smog Blanket, Piledriver and Diva. The Blaggers-influenced track 'PF ITA' appears on the album 'Punk Floyd Have Landed' by Liberator-linked acid super-band Punk Floyd.

The album was initially banned in Germany, where any depiction of nazi symbols is outlawed, because the cover artwork featured a burning swastika. CDs exported to Germany therefore had the offending swastika covered by a sticker declaring "This is an anti-fascist product".

Melody Maker called the album "a public service announcement with guitars" and went on to praise the "bright horns, anthemic choruses and a series of well-placed samples to ensure that the sounds appeal to the body as well as the brain ... clever stuff really" [Ian Watson, 16.01.93].

NME said the album "captures their ramshackle but refreshingly original combination of punk, ska, hip-hop, reggae, sampling and, most importantly in their scheme of things, radical anti-fascist politics" [Johnny Cigarettes, 23.01.93]

Vox thought that the songs on the album "about racism, poverty and urban violence sound as purposeful as a Doc Marten to a skinhead's skull rather than earnest or drippy" [Graham Russell, April 1993].

The album stayed in the top ten of the indie album chart for several months in 1993.
