This are all offical releases by and under the name CHUMBAWAMBA.

In late 1992 they released "Jesus H. Christ" as a bootleg (on vinyl only) Tragic Flop 001.

On the 1993 tour they sold a self-recorded LIVE-Tape called "LIVE In Armley" which contains the original versions of "Timebomb" and "Give the anarchist a cigarette", which was later tranformed into "Enough is Enough".
