Job Lot is a studio album by Chas & Dave, released in December 1982 on the band's own Rockney label.[1]
Background and reception[]
A "job lot" is a Cockney/working class term for assorted items sold together, such as at a market or boot fair. This reflects the mixture of the songs on the album.
Reviewing the band's 2015 album Live at Rockplast, for Record Collector magazine, Max Bell wrote: "Of particular interest to the connoisseur is the dusting down of "Stop Dreaming" and "Word From Anne", from the then-current Job Lot, a disc so in touch with its native land it made Morrissey seem positively parochial."[2]
