Anarchy is a 1994 album by anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba. Many of the tracks address specific social problems, such as homophobia, strikes or fascism.

Its graphic cover, depicting a baby's head emerging from a vagina caused the record to be banned from some shops and stocked in plain sleeves in others.[2]
