500 COPIES ON BLACK VINYL! The A-side is an alternate version of a track from the band's recent Brand New Cage LP. The B-side is exclusive to this release. "There's a plaque to Mick and Keith at Dartford station saying 'here they formed the Rolling Stones.' To his great credit Bill Wyman is pretty pissed, you can see him complaining on YouTube about it, saying it's nonsense and that Brian formed the group... he's like the conscience and the talisman of The Rolling Stones. Apparently quite a difficult character in a lot of ways. His idiosyncratic take on things meant his demise was like the end of the validity of rock music." Billy Childish - July 2017

Medway garage-psych at its finest! Limited to 300 vinyl copies with free CD featuring an exclusive extra track! This Kentish quartet have now been kicking out keen psych-pop nuggets since 2010, over the course of four albums and several 45s, but vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Allan Crockford's illustrious past and parallel present, as bassist with a roll call of the greatest British bands of the past 30+ years - The Prisoners, The James Taylor Quartet, The Prime Movers, The Solarflares, Graham Day &
The Forefathers - seems to have, weirdly, done 'em no favours. And in an age when peeps of a certain age are going goo-goo googly-eyed over the XTC back catalogue, rediscovering all manner of 60s psych-pop and garage treats, and lionising such moderne combos as Thee Oh Sees and Tame Impala, that the Galileo 7 haven't reaped comparable plaudits seems just plain stoopid. This, their fifth album (counting the scorching "Live-o-Graphic" set), sounds like the work of a quartet of twenty-somethings - it's high-energy, psychedelic garage rock'n'roll, replete with catchy, memorable tunes, seriously gnarly guitar, darkly humourous lyrics, four-part harmonies, Viv's searing organ, Paul's pin-point bass work and gloriously crash, bang, wallop drums, in a Keith Moon meets Thom Mooney (The Nazz) vein. The latter comes courtesy of longtime Galileo 7 bassist Mole (Embrooks / Higher State / State Records), whose shift to the drum seat has really kicked everything up a notch - his dynamite sticksmanship and stellar backing vox really bring out the best in the band - from the kinetic opener, "Cold Hearted Stowaway", to the vinyl album's elegiac closing track, "Nobody Knows Anything", they're firing on all cylinders.

500 on yellow vinyl, 500 on Turquoise vinyl! RANDOMLY PICKED!!! Wild Billy Childish &
CTMF are back with their fifth album in five years. Brand New Cage follows the critically acclaimed SQ1 album from 2016. It features 10 new Billy Childish songs along with two written and sung by the band's bassist Nurse Julie. Subjects include lost landmarks of '70s Chatham, the true revolution of punk, spirituality, lost loves and the sidelining of Brian Jones from The Rolling Stones. The sleeve art features a photo of an 18-year old Billy taken in a King's Cross photo booth in September 1978. As Billy remembers: "I used to cut these tribal marks into my cheeks every few weeks with a razor blade. I was really interested in African tribal scars, and I knew they had ash in there so I would rub cigarette ash in - very painful! I'm actually dressed there the most dangerous way you could be, as a punk rock teddy boy. The teds didn't like you wearing any ted gear.I've got a leopardskin waistcoat, bootlace tie and my hair flat. You had 40 year old men that would glass you. We'd go see Bo Diddley in '70s and we'd dress a little bit ted. I was on a few death lists locally with teddy boys." "We're like a cherry tree in the garden that nobody can be bothered to scrump cos it has slightly undersized fruit which has not been standardised for a supermarket. But we're the real thing and the jays and the crows like us." - Billy Childish on himself and CTMF

Pink vinyl! Former Prisoners / Prime Movers cohorts The Solarflares had further distilled the myriad pleasures of hard-edged, soulful 60s beat-psych, powerhouse guitar/organ instrumentals, and world class (but never wanky) riffage into a classy package, replete with memorable, groove-heavy tunes with knockout harmonies and that big, bad beat. It's fair to say that messrs Graham Day (guitar, vocals), Allan Crockford (bass, vocals), Wolf Howard (drums, vocals) and, latterly, Parsley (organ, vocals) deserve more acclaim, even from diehard fans of The Prisoners and their many other combos, which is where this reissue come in. "That was Then. and so is This", their sophomore set, came out on Twist in 2000 and features less gloriously distorto production but don't let that fool ya into thinking it's a slouch - no sir. The album's expanded, richer and more defined (dare I say, cinematic?) sonic palette encompasses kinetic acoustic riffery ("Miles Away"), fuzztastic beaters ("Sucking Out My Insides") and the obvs Gerry Anderson-inspired ("Angel Interceptor") - tis a stone pleasure, indeed!

"Psychedelic Tantrum", originally issued by Anglo-German label Twist in 1999, is an invigorating, intoxicating mix of suss and strut, hitting yer lugholes running with the searing "Mary" and running through the dancefloor-friendly instro "Apollo Go-Go" to the tripped-out "Shadow of the Past" and a mighty take on The Misunderstood's "Find a Hidden Door". To say it's quite a debut is a bit of an understatement, and as with the rest of their output, it sounds gloriously rich and timeless, like it could have been recorded at any point since late-1966.

Clear vinyl! Former Prisoners / Prime Movers cohorts The Solarflares had further distilled the myriad pleasures of hard-edged, soulful 60s beat-psych, powerhouse guitar/organ instrumentals, and world class (but never wanky) riffage into a classy package, replete with memorable, groove-heavy tunes with knockout harmonies and that big, bad beat.

The third album, the 'official bootleg', as Allan calls it, namely "Can Satisfy You", was put out by the band on their Own Up label in 2003. Is this collection of live and studio cuts less than essential? Is it bollocks. no drop in quality, when it comes to corkers like the 'electric' version of "Miles Away" with Parsley's killer organ that turns it into a mid-60s club soul classic, or on the slew of dynamite covers, which tell you more about where their heads were/are at better than anything I can write ya, including Wimple Winch's "Save My Soul", Ramones' "Glad to See You Go", Fire's "Father's Name is Dad" and the Sharon Tandy/Fleur de Lys/Rupert's People classic, "Hold On", the latter with Parsley on vocals, sounding like Don Fardon's big bruvva!

Ex-Boys frontman returns with a blistering two track POWER POP 7" on purple vinyl! There are only two people in the entire world who can claim to have played with the Ramones while not actually being tagged with the amone' nom-de-plume. Duncan Reid is one of those people. As singer and bass player of Joey Ramone's favourite band, The Boys, Duncan rode on the crest of a wave during punk's original late-1970s heyday as part of a wider collective of friends and peers that included Sex Pistols, The Clash, Generation X and a host of other power-chord pioneers. The Boys remain one of the best-loved and influential bands of their generation. Montevideo, from the Big Heads' debut album Little Big Head, earned Duncan the keys to the Uruguayan capital (the only other musicians to achieve this being Elton John and Paul McCartney). Following a cornucopia of stellar reviews for first album Little Big Head, The Big Heads developed their unique, effortlessly entertaining, melodic brand of harmony laden pop punk with: The Difficult Second Album. This May sees the release of their third album Bombs Away. Fourteen catchy little ditties about life, death, paranoia and Viagra. 2017 sees the Big Heads touring eternally in the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and Germany including festival dates at Rebellion, and Undercover.

London Garage Soul duo return with 3rd album HAUNTED HEART released on Damaged Goods! More Memphis, more Fuzz, more greasy foot-beating, party-greeting, soul-treating maximum RnB. And yes, more Cowbell. Jack Sandham (Guitar/Keys/Vox) and Wednesday Lyle (Drums/Vox) have straddled the Atlantic with the beat stampede of their songbook so far, but Haunted Heart sees them walk down the dark end of the street, drawing on Atlantic-era Ray Charles and Dusty, while still keeping on creeping on with the sweaty-hand shaky knee Garage rock ear-worms. From the Sun Studio, Cramps-like swagger of the title track, to the paranoid Coasters swing and Doors-keys of None Of Your Business, Jack's urgent vocals yelp out from the first needle drop, stepping aside for Wednesday's wink of the eye on the Holly Golighty/Black Lips femme-fatale fury of Downlow, which sounds like it's been ripped straight from the beating heart of the Fillmore during the Summer Of Love. Produced by the band themselves at Soup studios in Limehouse, London, their early raw bare-bones sound has now been fully expanded with Jack's sandpaper grit guitars and Wednesday's freight train rhythms chased down with some glitchy synths and vintage organs (Doom train/Neon blue) as well as a drop of Delta gospel Blues on Nothing But Trouble (also incidentally the first Cowbell song ever to actually feature a Cowbell). Otis and Pickett-era horns breathe seductively into the swampy-stomp of What Am I Supposed To Do, while New Kind Of Love tiptoes onstage with its alluring smokey jazz piano as Wednesday brings a beautifully casual Peggy Lee type Fever to the microphone. But it's with the curtain-closers on both sides of wax that Cowbell have really rung in the new, Something's Gotta Give swaps in gently plucked Laurel Canyon vibes, teardrop stained and tie-dyed into a soul stirring torch song. And just as we're ready to step off this train, the last stop of No Wrong drops us off in the sherbet-sweet swell of a Cowbell classic. A toast to Percy Sledge and Van Morrison, with a giddy gospel reprise that has Jack and Wednesday promise that they "won't do you no wrong". And they're damn right. Haunted by name, haunting by nature. Flip it up and start again. More Cowbell

Slime was SLIMY TOAD from Johnny Moped's solo adventure into a recording studio during a bit of downtime in Johnny Mopeds career in 1978. He was joined by mates Dave Tate on drums and Phil Sayers on vox and bass. They never got around to playing live as Moped duties took over once again. The single came out on Toadstool Records, Slimy's idea for a record label which was run by Chris Goodness who run a couple of record shops in Caterham, South London. It was recorded in Richmond studios where the legendary Cycledelic was also recorded

Punk classic reissued on limited edition coloured 7"! First ever reissue of The Unwanted's second and final single on Raw Records. Originally released in late 1977. Formed in March 1977 in London they played under their original name, SMAK, for the first two months, including the recording of the Live at the Roxy LP, before settling on the name of The Unwanted and playing at many of London's Punk hotspots, The Man In The Moon, Marquee Club, the Roxy and the Vortex. Although a highly entertaining live act, consistent line up changes resulted in a stop-start career. Members came and went including bassist Dave Postman from Flowers Of Romance, drummer Robbie from Peroxide Romance and those who went on to greater things, Robin Wills (later to the Barracudas) and Vince Ely (to the Psychedelic Furs). Their debut single 'Withdrawal' (on Raw records) was a superb slice of ramalamadolequeue, but the album they craved, and deserved, would never happen.The rest of the year was spent sporadically touring, before a second single, and a complete image overhaul, occurred at the start of 1978. 'Secret Police' (again on Raw) was a loping sub-reggae single and most fans felt short changed after their original full on punk attack. The band continued on for a few months more supporting their long time friends Siouxsie and the Banshees and X-Ray Spex whenever the opportunity arose. However in May, Ollie's past caught up with him as he was given a six month prison sentence for stealing a union jack flag from a flag pole in Bromley the previous June. The Unwanted were no more.
