Label: Tompkins Square

お見逃し無く!!瞬殺完売となった音源が2LP化!!1977年のパンクブームより150枚以上のインディーズLPをリリース、更に5冊の小説と45冊以上の詩集を出版していながらも、ムンクやピーター・ドイグに似た絵画を発表する画家として知られる、英ガレージ界の重要人物ビリー・チャイルディッシュ。氏が率いるバンドThe William Loveday Intentionが50枚限定のレースカット盤として発表していた、激レア・デモ音源集がTompkins Squareより正規作品化。ニルヴァーナのカートコバーンにも影響を与えたとされるブルースロックバンドの秘蔵音源。ジャケットは氏の過去作を踏襲するDIY仕様でハンドスタンプ&ナンバリング入り。











By special arrangement with Billy Childish and Rare Cool Stuff, Tompkins Square is delighted to present limited edition copies of Great Loveday Wonder : The Collected Demo Recordings.

Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways are just a few musical outfits that Billy has been involved with. His day job is being an internationally exhibited artist and poet.

These demo recordings - originally conceived and executed in a scarce edition of 50 Lathe Cut LPs each during Billy's recent "Career In A Year" campaign, immediately sold out.

And in the fine tradition of Billy's releases, this run of 500 needed to be hand-stamped as well as hand-numbered in a limited edition.

Billy has also gone far into the woodshed and agreed to reproduce a NEW limited edition of his treasured "MAN WITH GUITAR" woodcut. Also setting a new precedent!

We love working with our musical heroes. Billy is one of them.
