*Christmas 1979 is a 12 track album full of top tunes including the title track, a re-working of the Buff Medways single from a few years back 'Merry Christmas Fritz' and even a re-hash of one of our early releases Thee Headcoatees 'Santa Claus' plus lots of new songs too. It's on LP, CD and also downloadable direct to your iPoos too.*

    Now just a couple of things to mention, have a look at the new SHOP (if you haven't yet) you'll find that we've just added a few old releases from the Hangman's Daughter catalogue including albums from Thee Headcoats, The Mighty Caesers, The Milkshakes and many more.








    *Graham Day & The Gaolers are back from their first European tour, if you saw them then I think you'll agree that they are a great band, Radio 6 are giving the album a lot of plays right now, the albums still available on LP, CD and download. They've just been in the studio to record a couple of tracks for an EP we have planned for early 2008. They have a show in Italy in January and another full tour planned for May.*

    *Lookout for lots of exciting releases in 2008 as it's the 20th Anniversary of our first release, there wll be lots of one off singles, reissues of 4 of Thee Headcoatees albums, Pete Molinari's second album, a great RUDI compilation, Rezillos Peel sessions, Sexton Ming anthology of his early years, lots of Billy Childish releases and much much more.*
