The Campaign For Free Education would like to inform you that all proceeds from this fundraising CD will be used to continue resourcing the Campaign. With your help we can continue to keep up the fight for Free Education.

Campaign For Free Education
PO Box 332,

Dear Purchaser,
The Campaign for Free Education was founded in May 1995, it has over 2000 individual members and over 50 Student Unions affiliated in the UK. C.F.E. is the only national pressure group which actively fights against the governments attacks on student financial support.
Over the past few years, maintenance grants have been cut by 30%, the mature students allowance has been phased out, and all other benefits which students were previously entitled to have been eroded. Against this background, the leaders of the National Union of Students have reversed their commitment to Free Education. C.F.E. believe that the leadership of the students movement has historically failed to campaign for what students need. Many of them have ended up in well paid jobs, whilst many of the students they represented have had to eke out an existence using soup kitchens in the summer holidays, because they cannot find work or claim benefits.
C.F.E. believes that education should be a right and not a priviledge for those who can solely afford to pay for it. If the top 10% of earners can benefit in billions of £s in tax cuts, money can be found to spend on education, and thereby investing in the future. The House of Commons Resarch Library figures show that to return to the 1979 grant level for every full time Higher Education and Further Education student, without a parental contribution, would cost £5.5 billion. Moreover, there are major resources in the British economy which could be used to fund education. Firstly Britain only spends 4.1% of GDP on education, compared to 5.9% in France and 7.1% in Finland. Secondly if UK military spending were cut to the average level of Western Europe £6.3 billion would be released.
Recent reports in publications such as the NME, The Guardian and The Big Issue, have reported that former NUS President Jim Murphy wrote to Delerium records and several of the artists featured on this CD urging them to terminate its release. Several of the artists publicly responded, including Suede and Chumbawamba but Mr. Murphy refused to comment. Later in the same month he suspended one of his National Executive, Clive Lewis, for speaking out in favour of Free Education in a debate. It should be noted that Clive was not speaking in any official NEC capacity, but was representing the Black Student Campaign who have a policy in favour of students receiving living grants. This kind of action will not deter the Campaign from continuing to fight for grants for all students, C.F.E. is a broad based alliance and non-party political. C.F.E. think the student movement should represent the interests of its members, and not any narrow political careerist ambition.
If you agree with C.F.E., and share our belief that this country can afford a decent well funded education system at all levels, you should join us in the fight for Free Education. According to the Advocacy University Service Survey, C.F.E. is the fastest growing Campaign amongst students. As well as the bands performing on this CD we have the support of many celebrities and 35 MPs.
If this campaign is going to make a difference, it needs your involvement. So please help by joining now.
Thankyou for reading this letter.
Yours sincerely,
Graham Hellawell, C.F.E. CO Secretary.

• Muzik Junkie - February 1997.

Muzik Junkie, February 1997

Good Grief, how many more compilations are they going to send us? It seems that since the introduction of the cheap CD, all companies are doing is bringing out cheap crappy compilations of garbage that they can't sell at full price. Having got that off my chest, this is an entirely different kettle of herrings. Firstly it's for a good cause. I don't know (or particularly care) what your own individual political stance is, but a Campaign For Free Education sounds like a good idea which ever side of the street you're standing. I won't go into more details, 'cos this is supposed to be a music mag. but all the info. is included in the packaging. Yeah, it's the usual double for the price of a single, and among the bands featured are Suede, Senser, Dreadzone, Eat Static, New Model Army, Utah Saints, Chumbawumba and The Moonflowers. So it's a bunch of smelly crusty hippy shite then? Well yes and no. It's more dance orientated than you might think, with a number of special remixers (including Adrian Sherwood and Todd Terry) joining forces with the bands to whip up a storm. As with any compilation, it does tend to be a little disjointed at times, but the sum of the whole in this case is equal to its component parts. My personal favourite on here is the Nine Invisibles cut recorded over a sample of one of Tony Benn's speeches, but there is actually a lot of good music on here. The aforementioned Chumbawumba perform a copy of U2's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For which seems to work (Jeez, they'll be having hit singles next!), and there's a good mix of ethnic roots music from the likes of Transglobal Underground and Fun-da-Mental. Not too sure what Northern Uproar are doing on here, but hey like I said earlier it's for a good cause, so go and steal it immediately. Sorry, I meant buy it of course, if you're grant's not big enough to let you afford it that's kind of tough because if enough copies of this get sold you may not have to pay for your education in the future. (Mind you if you believe that, wait till the Labour Party get back in next May and see what changes!!). Krazy Kat
