Voila! Immediate download of 'On The Use of Jackboots' in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

The tracks from 'On The Use of Jackboots' are still available for as little as *zero* of Her Majesty's finest pennies, but we would love you to show your appreciation by sparing a little loose change - you can set your own price in the box. But please, while every little helps, remember that we have to pay PayPal transaction fees on everything we sell for money, so we humbly request that if you would like to pay for our work, that you give us a minimum of £0.50p / $0.70 per track (or £4.00 / $8.00 for the album) - otherwise we might end up paying out of our own pockets.

Thanks for supporting kickass independent music!

Hugs and kisses,

Al x ... more

"Accomplished, gripping and in this day and age, entirely refreshing" - Manchester Music

"Sensational songs about present issues...Baker's views are as daring and diverse as a St. Trinian's trip to Tynemouth...should be in the top ten of everyone's ipod" - Sandman Magazine

"Al Baker is...possessed with urgency and a righteous anger, but manages to distil it into a collection of upbeat and spiky originals...vibrant, intense and most welcome" - Rock 'n' Reel Magazine

Al's first album, recorded in his bedroom with one microphone in the dark winter of 2006. Features brilliant performances from the first incarnation of The Dole Queue, original album artwork by John 'Louis Barrabas' Shermur, and thirteen classic songs.
