Description

THE PEOPLE NOT THE CROWN is the thumping new EP from the Liverpool Legend Ian Prowse. To celebrate its release, we're selling off the Queen’s Royal Assets in an online auction.**


Lot 08, ladies and gentlemen, is ownership of all dolphins in UK waters. Did you know that the crown has had ownership on all the UK’s dolphins since 1324? Well, having spent the last 696 years looking for them, her majesty is now said to be open to the idea of selling on this ownership as part of a wider initiative to slim down the role of the monarchy. This ownership of dolphins also extends to any whales or sturgeons that are caught within three miles of the British coast. A fishermen who wants to keep the catch must first offer it to the Queen as a gesture of loyalty. Not just ceremonially, they literally have to call Buckingham Palace and ask - there’s even a palace official in charge of these conversations called the ‘Receiver of Wreck’. Possibly the greatest job title ever? But god help us if this is what taxpayer’s money is being spent on…


  

**Disclaimer** Clearly we’re not actually selling off Her Majesties assets but we will send you a copy of the very limited edition 4-track, 10” EP of protest. Taking two songs from Ian’s days leading Pele (cult 90s band) ‘Raid The Palace’ and ‘The Sport Of Kings’, one song from the acclaimed Here I Lie album ‘All The Royal Houses’ and a brand new track called ‘You Don’t Own Me’ A song specially written and exclusively for Record Store Day. We’ll also be donating all proceeds of this sale to The South Liverpool Foodbank – For the People!
