Can someone tell me what's going on with Billy Bragg's playing?!

I've been listening to Billy Bragg's 'What Side Are You On?' and whilst I've been able to find guitar chords for the song, and I've been able to learn those, I just cannot work out how he's getting that sound out of his guitar.

Anyone care to give the song a listen and tell me what he's doing?

If you mean this version:


- it's just a whole ton of reverb (way too much IMO), favouring lower frequencies for that boomy effect.

Here's two live versions for comparison



As for his playing style, there's a fair amount of palm muting.
