Del Amitri – Swimming With Your Boots On (CD, 1995, Oxygen OXY 010)

Why This CD Matters
Swimming With Your Boots On captures Del Amitri during the height of their 1990s success through a mix of full-band live recordings, intimate acoustic studio sessions, and BBC performances. The collection highlights the group’s melodic songwriting and understated alternative pop-rock style across tracks like “Roll To Me,” “Tell Her This,” and “Driving With The Brakes On.” Unofficial live compilations like this became popular among collectors seeking rare performances and alternate arrangements outside the band’s official releases.

Collector Note
Original 1995 Czech Republic unofficial release on Oxygen Records. European live and radio-session CDs from the 1990s remain collectible among fans of British alternative pop and roots-influenced rock.
