US customers will have their orders fulfilled by Jigsaw in the US, so the postage costs are not insane. 

=======================

Along with the vinyl LP, Skep Wax will also release a special CD featuring just one track: School Report, a 17-minute pop song in which a diary of an anxiety-ridden day is punctuated with readings from the singer’s school report: the acid, dismissive remarks made by uncaring teachers years ago echoing cruelly down the years. 

‘When Britain Was Great’ is a punk record.  It is also an angry, gentle, heartfelt plea for humanity. 

European Sun is Steve Miles, with support from Elin Miles (backing vox), Rob Pursey (bass) and Ian Button (drums)

Release date 23rd January 2026.  ‘School Report’ CD single only available from Skep Wax only.
