Limited two CD edition. Bonus disc 'This is My Mixtape', is a collection of cover versions recorded especially for the album. 2023 release. It's Jim Bob's 12th solo studio album, a stone cold masterpiece. Featuring 38 minutes of pop, punk rock and devastatingly moving ballads. More topical than an episode of Newsnight, with songs about Putin ('The Day of Reckoning'), the Taliban ('This Is End Times') and whoever 'Billionaire in Space' is about. It's not all doom and gloom though (it's mostly doom and gloom). 'Sebastian's Gone On A Ridelaong' is a hilarious psychobilly romp and the pre- coronation written 'Prince of Wales' is like a pub lock-in, it's Bowie's 'Kooks' for older people. Recorded with the same group of musicians as his previous two chart smashing albums, 'Pop Up Jim Bob' and 'Who Do We Hate Today', with trumpet and saxophone from Terry Edwards and violin from Kate Arnold, Jim Bob has described it like he's at a poncy wine tasting: "When I listen to this record, I get flavors of Buzzcocks and Dexys, with notes of Teardrop Explodes and Slade. It's big and bold, bright and crispy, earthy and buttery, with a bouquet of barbed wire and an aftertaste of your life somehow never ever quite being the same again."
