"Per ragioni conosciute solo a se stessi, i nostri intrepidi eroi si nascondono dietro il nome-de-plume, "The Hooley Ganzband".
Non importa. Possiamo assicurarvi che ogni musicista di questo album è una star a sé stante, con tanti dischi d'oro sul muro del bagno. Basti dire che sono molto bravi!".

A radio-ballad is a sound tapestry woven of four basic elements: songs, instrumental music, sound effects, and the recorded voices of those with whose lives each programme deals. The radio-ballads were a joint creation by Ewan MacColl, Charles Parker and Peggy Seeger. These programmes were revolutionary at the time, using as they did the actual spoken words of the 'informants'. Up until this time, this 'actuality' (as the trio dubbed it) was transcribed and then interpreted by trained radio speakers. The radio-ballads led you effortlessly from song to music to sound effect to the spoken word and back again, revealing the effort of a way of life upon those who lead it. They are entertaining, informative, musical, poetic and educational. There were eight radio-ballads, created between 1957 and 1964. They are now reissued for the first time on CD by Topic.
The Fight Game was originally released in 1967.
