Levellers have long been and still are, one of the best live bands around. Often overlooked is their outstanding back catalogue of recorded music. Levellers sold more platinum, gold, and silver albums in the 1990s than any other act.

5 of their 6 Top 40 albums (which spawned 14 Top 40 singles), including the number 1 Zeitgeist, are re-released this June on Warner Brothers’ Rhino label. Levelling the Land is re-issued as a double disc with the BBC’s recording of the era-defining
headline slot at Glastonbury ’92 as the second disc.

Re-mastered, expanded with B-sides from the singles, new packaging, liner notes and artwork, the five re-issues reflect the huge recent resurgence in the band’s popularity. All albums will be available physically and digitally and there will be a “best of” compilation, chosen by the band themselves available exclusively from iTunes.
Levellers’ anthem What a Beautiful Day is re-released on 28 June (download only). The single will be available from all good online music stores, and there will be an exclusive bundle featuring the video and live tracks available through iTunes.
In 2008 Levellers celebrate their 20th anniversary. They have ridden waves of huge popularity and chasms of widespread mistrust. They have ignored fads, fashions and trends, and in doing so have existed alongside them.

They still play with a passion and pride that, having seen off many of their early contemporaries, is setting a standard that many young pretenders find hard to match; they play 29 festivals in this summer including Fflam, Bestival, Rock Ness and their own Beautiful Days.

Best band ever! Without a shadow of a doubt. And even better live. We Levellers fanatics almost put the floor through in the coal exchange, beautiful days!

sambedford: I was at stokes bay, and after waiting to see the Levellers at a festival for some years, I can say, I wasn't disappointed, at all, in any way! Seeing them again next time they're in town, always good! (Dirty Davey was clearly the highlight!)

I think that very commercial band description above does not really get across what the Levellers stand for.

Hmm delete doesnt work and for some reason those characters and numbers from my previous shout got mixed up. Total length of the album is somewhere between thirthy five and forty minutes. Eat that last.fm! :)

Thanks Breydel :] I'm 17 & I've had the pleasure of seeing these guys 5 times so far at various concerts and festivals, including one acoustic set which was pretty immense, as I haven't heard 'Julie' live anywhere else :]
