Pedigree Chump is the debut album from the British ska punk band [spunge].
It was released following the success of the Kicking Pigeons EP pressed a year earlier that sold 5000 copies to early followers at pub gigs.
The first 3,000 copies of the album included a five track bonus CD of live recordings. The standard album was re-released in December 2000 as a limited edition digipak, but the bonus second CD is now more difficult to find.
No singles were ever released from Pedigree Chump. However, the song 'Kicking Pigeons' can be found on the Kicking Pigeons EP and as the second A-side on live Another Day, a single from Room For Abuse.
