A Weapon Called The World

Description

The Levellers record label, On The Fiddle Recordings, is re-issuing the bands debut album A Weapon Called The Word which was originally released by the French label Musidisc in 1991. Having already gained a considerable reputation as a formidable live band with a couple of EPs under their belts, the release of A Weapon Called The Word signified the beginning of a career that has, so far, spanned two decades. The stand out songs from the album such as Carry Me, Together All The Way and England My Home are still being played regularly in the live set today. A Weapon Called The Word is the only Levellers album to feature contributions from founding member Alan Miles who was subsequently replaced by current vocalist and multiinstrumentalist Simon Friend.
