Job Lot (album)
''Job Lot'' is a studio album by Chas & Dave, released in December 1982 on the band's own Rockney label. Background and reception A "job lot" is a Cockney/working class term for assorted items sold together, such as at a market or boot fair. This reflects the mixture of the songs on the album. Reviewing the band's 2015 album ''Live at Rockplast'', for ''Record Collector'' magazine, Max Bell wrote: "Of particular interest to the connoisseur is the dusting down of "Stop Dreaming" and "Word From Anne", from the then-current ''Job Lot'', a disc so in touch with its native land it made Morrissey seem positively parochial."
