Chumbawamba's Jesus H. Christ was meant to be released in the early 1990's (possibly 1991?) as their follow up to 1990's Slap!. However, due to the number of uncleared samples that the album contained, there was no way to have it released the way it was, and the band was forced to re-work the entire album. It was eventually released in 1992 as Shhh, with all the samples removed, and the accompanying artwork contained images of the rejection letters the band recieved for their requests to sample other artists' music.
however, thanks to Peer-2-Peer networking, as well as people like me, it can be shared amongst fans to be heard it it's original glory. That's not to say that Shhh is a bad album, but hearing it int it's raw form is a very rewarding experience in itself. So without further ado, here it is, the unreleased Jesus H. Christ.

it should be noted that there is an "Intro" track which sampled the intro to Sgt. Pepper's on some versions, giving the album 12 tracks.

and yes, this is the same band who wrote and performed Tubthumping back in 1997. Let's move on now.

I'm writing to thank you for something you uploaded eleven years ago - THANK YOU.
I love Chumbawamba, and it was definitely a "thrill" finding out there was more to them than Tubthumping.
