An anthology of songs that never made the charts. Yet they are some of the most provocative and entertaining songs of the 70s. Satirical, polemical, rousing, sad, originally written for the theatre and probing different aspects of the welfare state we're in, from love and marriage to law and order. These songs are the fringe benefits of that thriving development, outside traditional theatre, of small community theatres and travelling companies, taking plays and music to often non-theatre-going audiences in venues ranging- from factories to social clubs.
