Variations on a Childish Theme

 Let's keep this going

I have leftover Korean food to eat, but this is important.

To me at least.


Thee Headcoats Sect (1991)

So once upon a time there was a British R&B/Beat group called the Downliner Sect. They existed and then they didn't. For a lot of folks their existence is noted in the inclusion of the song "Glendora" on the Nuggets 2 box set of garage/punk/psyche etc... from places other than the United States. It's a good primer anyway.

In 1991 Thee Headcoats met up with Downliner Sect main honcho, Don Craine and produced this bit of recorded history. I doubt there was a second take to be had. None were necessary. And like a lot of records were doing at the time it sandwiches little talking bits preceding the tracks that are kind of amusing the first time you hear them and rapidly lose that on subsequent plays. I was feeling lazy. I didn't separate them. Do your own dirty work.


Ballad of Hollis Brown (1992)

A Billy Childish solo release. It's more a pair of more bluesy numbers. The picture on the back is still Thee Headcoats, so I'll assume that they're also part of this release.
You listen. You enjoy.
