The album was very well-received; “a timeless album for the times” (****RNR), Folk Radio UK named it as one of their top 10 albums of the year, &amp; Ian Anderson said it would have been one of Podwireless’s CDs of the year – if it had been on CD.

The album has its CD release as part of a double album with Bodger: My Part In His Downfall, a collection of 20 songs chronicling the events of the last three years – “the worst of possible times to have the worst of governments too.” There are voice &amp; acoustic guitar based tracks, 2 ukulele songs, &amp; various contributions from Irregulars Sian Allen (trumpet), John Forrester (bass), Ali Gavan (drums), Arvin Johnson (drums), Linze Maesterosa (clarinet), Fae Simon (b/vox, lead vocal on track 190, &amp; from Irregular Records recording artiste &amp; award-winning poet Roger Stevens (piano). The recording of the album’s last track “Goodbye” was finished on July 6th - &amp; the following day the Prime Minister resigned. Irregular Records decided to release the album to celebrate the departure of this most murderously lazy, corrupt, mendacious &amp; incompetent of Prime Ministers. The double album includes a 12 page booklet with notes for all the songs.
