Levellers have announced the release of 'Greatest Hits' on 29th September 2014 via their own On The Fiddle Recordings label. Levellers have also released their collaboration recording with legendary troubadour, Billy Bragg.

'Hope Street', a Number 12 chart hit for Levellers back in 1995, has been re-interpreted by Billy and was re-recorded with the Levellers as his backing band at their Metway Studios in Brighton earlier this year. The track has been released for sale digitally for 99p via itunes. A strictly limited edition 7" vinyl version also comes part of the Signed Deluxe Greatest Hits album package which can be pre-ordered here for £14.99

'Hope Street' is the second track in a series of collaborations to be released by the Levellers as part of their forthcoming Greatest Hits album, released on September 27th. Alongside Billy, Imelda May, Frank Turner and Bellowhead have all re-recorded new interpretations of classic Levellers songs. ' 

UK TOUR, WITH SUPPORT FROM THE SELECTER PERFORMING ‘TOO MUCH PRESSURE’

To celebrate the release of Greatest Hits, Levellers will embark on a European wide Greatest Hits tour In October and November performing some of these songs for the first time in many years with special guests The Selecter on all UK dates plus solo multi-instrumentalist Laura Kidd aka She Makes War.

LEVELLERS DOCUMENTARY FILM

As well as the Greatest Hits release and huge tour this year for Levellers, a film about their rise to fame in the 1990's 'A Curious Life' had its premiere in June 2014. Told through the unique perspective of Jeremy Cunningham, the band’s bass player and artist, and directed by former Chumbawamba frontman Dunstan Bruce, the film focuses on the Levellers phenomenal success between 1988 and 1998 before they disappeared for a time in a train wreck of drink, drugs and creative drought. However, despite reaching their lowest ebb, the band never split up and after a few years in the wilderness they re-invented themselves as a self-managing collective with their own studio, label and Beautiful Days festival, and in the process became unexpected survivors of the UK's famously fickle music industry.
