VIA PRESS RELEASE | 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, inspiring Kurt Cobain, Jack White, and scores of other musicians along the way. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats, and The Buff Medways are just a few musical outfits Billy has been involved with. His day job is working as 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.
