Album Notes & Community Reviews

The first of two volumes gathering B-sides, singles and unreleased material from the Leeds band's long career, spanning their post-punk beginnings and their later country-leaning records. The Mekons' rotating cast and literary bent run through fragments that never found a place on the studio albums.
