Levellers - Announce tour with The Selecter and greatest hits album!

Levellers have announced the release of 'Greatest Hits' on the 29th of September 2014 via their own On the Fiddle Recordings label. The album will be released three formats (CD / DVD / Digital) and all versions include every Levellers singles and video released over the last twenty five years of which twenty were chart hits, together for the first time.

From the Folk Punk roots of 'Carry Me' through to the anthemic 'One Way, Fifteen Years, Hope Street, Just the One' and smash hit 'Beautiful Day' to more recent tracks such as 'Truth is and Cholera Well'. After more than twenty five years together as band, the Levellers' mix of scathing political comment and positive DIY attitude to life hasn't dissipated with age.

Most exciting of all, the 'Greatest Hits' album also features four brand new recordings of the Levellers collaborating with contemporary artists to rework some of their classic material. Imelda May is the queen of all time on 'Beautiful Day' which will be formally released as a single. Bellowhead take on 'Just the One' and the legendary Billy Bragg performs 'Hope Street'. Finally, Frank Turner breathes new life into 'Julie', one of his very favourite songs whilst growing up, bringing us back full circle for another generation of the disenfranchised to discover the Levellers for the first time.
