As you may be aware, we've had issues getting the pre-orders on these titles out to some of you in time. Our trusty franking machine decided to give up the ghost last week and the promised replacement machine didn't turn up as promised.

So apologies again to anyone who waited longer than expected to receive these items. Hopefully you'll find they were worth the wait.

The good news is we're now back to our usual efficient selves. If you've yet to order copies of Last Punk Standing (CD/LP) and 'You're The One I Idolise' (7")  they're still in stock and available via the links below!

Vive mail order!

Wild Billy Childish & CTMF - Last Punk Standing... and Other Hits! (LP/CD)

RED VINYL - 600 COPIES

GREY VINYL - 600 COPIES

CD - A CONVENIENT MODERN FORMAT

CTMF are back with their sixth studio album (and dare we say their best!) to date. Forty years of homemade punk rock and Billy really is the Last Punk Standing. Here's the man himself taking us through a couple of songs from the new LP.

'Last Punk Standing'
A more CTMF sounding track. This should really be called 'Who'll be the Last Punk Standing?' but it looked better as a shortened title. Again it's about time, and knowledge running out. When a generation passes there's no one left to explain the true nature of their experience. eg- those who fought in WW2 are all but gone and that's how we get the rise of the new right: we learn from history that we don't learn from history. Who'll be left to pass on the essence of what punk was about - home-made, please yourself music.

PS - the character Roberta, is from a Leadbelly tune- I thought it nice to have her and Mark E. Smith in the same pop song (Mark was still with us when we recorded this number).

'Like an Inexplicable Wheel'

The strangest thing in life is time, not clocks but that there was a past and there will be a future (apparently). Life seems to be an inexplicable wheel, and I thought there should be a pop song (or two) about that.

"This is a love song, along the lines of some of the ballads we used to do in the Milkshakes - inspired by Arthur Alexander. There also seems to be some Richard Hell in there (the Voidoids have been a big inspiration over the years (I saw them supporting the Clash at Hastings Pier Pavilion in '77."
