"THE ENGLISH DISEASE"
Football records are by and large limited by the fact that they appeal
to the supporters of a particular club, or occasionally a hilarious
'boys in the bath' type ditty by a national team. There have been some
wonderful match commentary/atmosphere LPs and some recent albums have
attempted to compile the best/worst of club 'footie' songs.
THE BARMY ARMY present a collection of songs that celebrate England's
national game and hopefully encompass the best of the previous laughable
attempts. While also equally amusing "THE ENGLISH DISEASE" is a serious
shot; rhythms of the highest calibre.
By utilising up to date techniques, skill and flair, THE BARMY ARMY and
dribbling ADRIAN SHERWOOD have produced a winner. A verbal volley is
unleashed at the government's Football Spectators Bill. Brian Clough
gets 'physically involved'. 'Leroy Leroy' chant West Ham's north bank
supporters. There's a tribute to King Kenny (Dalglish) and the North-
South divide is narrowed in 'Mind The Gap'.
"END OF THE CENTURY PARTY" and "THE ENGLISH DISEASE" will also be available
in the new year on Compact Disc with extra tracks - "RAT RACE", "HOUSE
BUILDING", "ENGLAND 2 YUGOSLAVIA 0", "BILLY BONDS M.B.E.", "LIQUIDATOR"
and other re-mixed and extended versions.
