Sleaford Mods – Spare Ribs

Brilliant album, their best yet. Great pressing on orange vinyl. Ignore pointless moaning about lack of free shit, (small quantity of signed stuff given at random on official website pre-orders) it's the quality of the tunes that's the real prize here.

Just got this version new at my local record shop FYI. Some got released?

Received this version today. Absolutely no free stuff of any kind.

When pre-ordered it clearly stated that the "free shit" was thrown in at random: no guarantee on what you get or that you'd get anything at all.

The art print isn't inside the sealed record sleeve, its seperate. Mine was signed just SM.

I pre-ordered form their store, mine didn't come with an art print or other bonus stuff. Everything else is the same though.

Im curious to know how those selling the ltd orange version know there is definately an art print within. Mine came with nothing. They should say may contain print surely ? Buyer beware !

Anybody get the Spare Ribs Free S**t? What did it include?

Recorded in lockdown in a furious three-week studio blitz at JT Soar in July, the polemical Jason Williamson and dexterous producer Andrew Fearn kick against the pricks with unrivalled bite, railing against hypocrisy, inequality and apathy with their inimitable, scabrous sense of humour. And ‘Spare Ribs’, featuring Amy Taylor of Melbourne punks Amyl and the Sniffers and the British newcomer Billy Nomates, finds the duo charged with ire at the UK Government’s sense of entitlement, epitomized by its devil-may-care approach to the coronavirus crisis.

Commenting on the new album Jason says, “'Our lives are expendable under most governments, secondary under a system of monetary rule. We are stock if you like, parts on a shelf for the purposes of profit, discarded at any moment if fabricated or non-fabricated crisis threatens productivity. This is constant, obviously and notably in the current pandemic. The masses cannot be present in the minds of ill-fitting leaders, surely? Or else the realisation of their catastrophic management would cripple their minds. Much like the human body can still survive without a full set of ribs we are all 'spare ribs’, preservation for capitalism, through ignorance and remote rule, available for parts.”
