¡Chutzpah! Jnr.
¡Chutzpah! Jnr. is an EP from the Wildhearts, released in August 2009 on Backstage Alliance. It arrived a few months after the band's eighth studio album, ¡Chutzpah!, and works as a companion to it, gathering the four bonus tracks from that record's Japanese edition. It also includes the single "The Snake, the Lion, the Monkey and the Spider" and three songs that had not been released before.
For anyone who has followed the band's story, it is a useful extra chapter from the Ribe sessions with producer Jacob Hansen. The parent album was the last studio release before a ten-year gap, and the last to feature bassist Scott Sorry, so this EP offers a little more from that line-up before things went quiet. It suits listeners who want the whole picture of that period rather than just the main record.
