oh, for some reason iassumed you are based in uk... well in that case best idea is just to write to them and find out.. perhaps they will be able to come up with some reasonable offer of postage because CDs are definitely worth having..

Wellclose Square, I am sure I saw one of those and was surprised to hear about his real work rather than the stuff he did for That's Life etc. A friend of mine saw him perform live and said he was excellent.
Thackray also did an album of covers of Jaque Brel songs I think, which would be great to hear.
As for Anarchist music didn't some of the Free Jazzers see themselves as anarchists? Cecil Talyor wrote some articles for surrealist review The Arsenal though I do not know if he considers himself an anarchist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anarchist_musicians ... among composers, John Cage has to be mentioned, he said:
"I'm an anarchist. I don't know whether the adjective is pure and simple, or philosophical, or what, but I don't like government! And I don't like institutions! And I don't have any confidence in even good institutions."
and there is the German punk band Slime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1fff7zrlmY
p.s.: Theodor W. Adorno wasn't an anarchist but also a composer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OOgKrmB8QY & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaO2ZZK9ljA

neither "anarchist" or "working class" but truly revolutionary: http://entdinglichung.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/musik-und-ballett-zum-sonntag-igor-strawinski-le-sacre-du-printemps/

He qualified: "working class" music in general I think. I was always a big fan of old-school brit punk bands like The Clash and the Jam, and last year I discovered a band from that era that I had never heard. (Amazingly) The Redskins share some elements of the sound of groups like the Clash and the Jam, and though they are far from anarchist they are certainly "working class", in terms of their content AND as far as the tremendous amount of strike-support activism they were involved in during the reign of Thatcher. I am a sucker for this stuff. I think the two main dudes were actually members of the UK SWP, (boo!) but I don't hold that against them. I love Brit-rock-punk-pop of that era. Fuck, I am old.
October-dude: The proper term is "glean from" not "gleam from". Just an observation for your edification.
I can't wait to check out some of the stuff mentioned in this thread. Nice to see that someone mentioned Linton Kwesi Johnson.

Has no one mentioned the IWW big red songbook? If they did, I missed it, so I am mentioning it. There are some fabulously "anarchist" lyrics to be found therein. Of special interest to those of us who enjoy "old-timey" American music, and well, the IWW should be of special interest to anyone interested in anarchism as well.

There's always The French singer Leo Ferre:

The Youtube user VALESTAP has all sorts of old Italian anarchist songs, this is the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2luE8pdSM4&feature=channel_page
Pretty decent (I usually don't like white rappers) anarchist rapper Ko49 out of Ft Worth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HEAQ-l09ds
Pretty bad anarchist rap out of Portland, Uncle Scams:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDmrd1Jly-Y

All the anarcho-hardcore I know that is any kop.
Anchor from Sweden.
7 Generations from America. They do have a song about meat being murder I'm afraid. Chimera is a great intro though.
Proletariat from Boston. There's great interviews on the net about them talking briefly about their politics. British post punk angular sound. Beautiful.
RIFU from Norway. Really cool sound.
Time in Malta from America. Definite libertarian undertones. Did mention Rosseau in a interview unfortunately 
One of the best hardcore bands of all time.
Brother Inferior. Remember I found these, reading about the singer's membership to IWW. Lo-fi singalongs.
Verse from America. If they're not anarchists, I'll eat my hat. There wasn't any better around when these lads were playing.

I only have one song by them on a comp, but it's pretty amazing. Don't suppose there's anywhere good to find the rest of their stuff?

Their best shit is on This is Boston Not LA. The LP (Soma Holiday) isn't as good.

Fucked Up also have a track about the CNT called No Pasarán.

Heathen. Their best stuff is naturally their disco, Voodoo Economics and Other American Tragedies. Get on Soulseek, and do a search. A few folk will have it.
Soulseek is your best bet for music in general, but especially indie label or obscure stuff.

Berurier Noir are an anarchist punk band but they're more squatter types.
Noir Desir are sometimes claimed as anarchists but there isn't too much evidence in the lyrics, although they have played benefit gigs for the CNT-F.

You can't fault Wagner's anarcho credentials, tho. Did you know that the first pressing of Tristran and Iseult actually came out on Mortarhate?

Indeed. Here he is fighting against the zionazis:

One of the members of Czarny Sztandar Records collective often works in UK so you might be able to get things delivered here by him and save outrageous prices of international postage..
