As some you might remember the German band 'Die Toten Hosen' released an excellent 'covers' album called 'Learning English Lesson 1' (first released in 1991). Now they've finally recorded 'Lesson 2', again with many guests who are mostly members of the bands who recorded the originals. It will initially only be a bonus disc to their new album "Laune der Natur". Featured are quite a lot of songs/bands which somehow were 'missed' on the first one...
It includes a version of 'Grip' recorded with Hugh Cornwell.
The album comes out on 5th May. It's currently available for pre-order on Amazon (Germany) but hasn't yet appeared on Amazon (UK).
