A great version of the Billy Bragg song, by Kirsty MacColl.

This is the rarer bomb-site cover with Union Jack. 

In great condition.

Kirsty MacColl recorded the song the year after its release by Bragg. Her version was produced by her then husband Steve Lillywhite.[4] Entering the UK chart in 1985, it was her biggest solo hit, reaching number 7 in the UK Singles Chart[5] and number 8 in the Irish Singles Chart.

Bragg's original version of the song had only two verses. MacColl thought the song was too short, and so Bragg wrote a further verse for her. The line in the chorus "I'm just looking for another girl" becomes a question: "Are you looking for another girl?" Since MacColl's death, Bragg has included the additional verse in performances of the song as a tribute.

The recording of "A New England" was the first collaboration between MacColl and her husband Steve Lillywhite on one of her own solo recordings.

This is the same as 449105 but it is a legitimate alternative release. The "bombsite" cover is far rarer than the version featuring the "standard photo", Tom Collins' portrait of Kirsty.
