Agit-Prop Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (300 words) |
 | Agit-Prop Records was an independent record label founded in 1985 by the members of the then-peace punk band Chumbawamba. |
| Before starting the label in '85, Chumbawamba had distributed their records and tapes using the Sky and Trees label. |
| The term "agit prop" originates from Soviet Russia's Department for Agitation and Propaganda. |

| Their first LP, Pictures Of Starving Children Sell Records (1986) was a scathing and articulate critique of the then current Live Aid concert organised by Bob Geldof, which they argued was primarily a cosmetic spectacle designed to draw attention away from the real political causes of world hunger. |
| It was also during this period that Chumbawamba gained some notoriety when male vocalist Danbert Nobacon poured a jug of water over the UK Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott at the 1998 Brit Awards. |
| It was this line-up that recorded the album A Singsong And A Scrap, released late in 2005. |
