Hello folks!
Fresh in from Mr Childish, we have some very limited hand-pasted, fantastically wobbly covered, alternative cover editions of the latest CTMF LP SQ 1
Priced at £25 the LP is a lucky dip of light, mid or dark green vinyl and comes with a fold out poster.
**We'll be making these live on the site at 4pm this Thursday**
There are 2 designs and only 50 copies of each so orders are limited to 1 copy of each per order.
Any duplicate orders will be cancelled in a vain attempt to limit re-selling on Ebay/Discogs.

Brand new album from Billy Childish's CTMF!
'the reason we didn't sound like the Smiths is because we wanted to sound like this'
40 years ago, Billy Childish, then a 16 year old working in Chatham dockyard, imagined a group called 'the Chatham Forts', and so started a journey through punk rock from 1977 to now. Along the way this painter/ poet has released over 140 independent LPs. (SQ 1 is something like his 150th - no one knows for sure.)
As always great lines are delivered with deadpan humour: “The reason we didn't sound like the Smiths is because we wanted to sound like this” is Billy's reply to all the reviews of his band's work during the '80 and '90s - in the days when they stood all but alone as 'the kings of garage rock' (New York Times).
SQ 1 could be seen as a manifesto of punk rock defiance, a celebration of musical independence or simply a true document home made rock and roll delivered as art, not commerce.
(Few artists have demanded and exerted so much control over their output as Childish. As with his previous LPs, all designs are undertaken by the group, from song writing, recording/producing, track listing, and LP design.)
CTMF - A Song For Kylie Minogue (7"/DIGI)
Brand new 7" single from Billy Childish's CTMF!
On transparent red or transparent yellow vinyl! (each limited to 400 copies!)
A-side is taken from the band's latest LP SQ 1, and is backed with an exclusive B-side 'True'. The single is already getting played on BBC6Music
“On 'A Song For Kylie Minogue' Childish pays tribute to some of the rock stars who have paid tribute to him over the years (minus one or two big names). All true stories, we get an insight as to who has tried to stroke Childish.”
