CHUMBAWAMBA Never Mind The Ballots rare french pressing
Never Mind the Ballots is an album by Anarchist punk band Chumbawamba. Most of the songs centre around lying politicians and their search for more voter control. It was originally released as a cassette and LP in 1987. The lyrics to all the songs are direct, largely undisguised political commentary describing at the same time the futility of democracy in general and the political situation of the three major parties in Britain at the time of recording.The artwork used in the promotion of the album, its liner notes and its cover, was based on artwork designed by French artists in the late 1960s. The image on the front cover pictured above is similar to that which appears on the alternate cover, although the alternate cover features a starker image (closer to the one used on t-shirts) with the higher hand being identical, but nearer the lower hands, which are pointed straight up; the alternate cover also uses black and white as opposed to black and cream.The liner featured other French images with slogans connected with anti-capitalist movements, including: "Continuons la lutte le capitalisme sombre" [Let us continue to fight the dark capitalism], Retour a la normale" [Return to the normal], Brisons les vieux engrenages [Let us break the old gears] and many others.

Record: Very Good. A few light scratches which should not affect play.
Note: I clean and visually inspect each record, but do not have time to play test evey record.
Songs: Always Tell The Voter What The Voter Wants To Hear Come On Baby The Wasteland Today's Sermon Ah-Men Mr Heseltine Meets His Public The Candidates Find Common Ground Here's The Rest Of Your Life GRADING:
MINT (M):The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover is in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise. It may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
