Hello,

We have a lot of new releases coming out in November to tell you about.

In total there are four albums and three singles!

So here's the info on the first two albums...and a 7" 

PRE-SALE WILL START NEXT THURSDAY 1st OCTOBER.

--------

We are very pleased to announce the brand new album from MISS LUDELLA BLACK & THE MASONICS

This is 'NO ONE MAKES A FOOL OUT OF ME' and it's on LP & CD

We asked Ludella about the album... "No one makes a fool out of me… This is my 4th solo album. We had a ball recording this, as I think you can tell! I’m backed once again by the fabulous Masonics and the original material is written by Mickey Hampshire. We recorded the album with local legend Jim Riley at Ranscombe Studios, a stone’s throw from my houseboat. The Etta James cover (I know, how dare I!) we have been playing live for a while as well as ‘Why Don’t You Smile Now’ which also appears also on the Delmonas 5! album. The spine-chilling ‘You Waster You’ will make the hairs on your neck stand up, and it’s also a highlight of my live set. My personal favourites are ‘I Bear the Scars’ and ‘I’ll Get Over Losing You’ - both quite different but very Ludella! I’m very chuffed to be releasing this fine LP on Damaged Goods Records again and hope you all love it as much as I do!”

AND

The return of ARMITAGE SHANKS, this time with a new line-up which includes BILLY CHILDISH & WOLF HOWARD

THE FIRST NEW ALBUM IN OVER TWO DECADES! 

Dig this. 

Dick Scum, (vocals) calls up his old mucker Rod Vomit, (guitar) and explains he’s tricked avant garde collagist, Kurt Von Schitters, AKA Billy Childish, into playing bass and producing an eighth Armitage Shanks LP, the first in twenty-two years. 

“Really?!” exclaims Rod. 

“Yeah, he owes me big time for driving Thee Headcoats here and there and bloody everywhere. I know where the bodies are buried and I’ve never snitched.” 

"But who'll play drums?" asks the Christopher Robin barnetted axe-smith. 

"Simple - we con Von Schitters into bringing along that mush with the slapped-arse face - St Chalfont, AKA Wolf, if he plays his cards right we might let him bash along on his rotting drum kit.” 

“One problem - Who's going to pay for another crock of shite from the likes of us?” 

“Easy I'll sell my Uncle John’s collection of sovereign rings.” 

“Won't he mind?” 

“Rod, Uncle John is dead, remember?'”

“Oh, yeah, perfect!” 

"All we need to do now is learn that tricky 3rd chord and we'll be happy as two peas in a pod-ah!” 

The scene is set. By some miracle the boys meet up at Ranscombe studios on time, Von Schitters tidies up their rubbish tunes, Bludy Jim hits the play button and maximum drums and racket ensues. 

All is hunky dory till Rod Vomit’s hand cramps up from 'wristing of the punk.' In steps Rod's 14-year-old son Galapagos who saves the day with his expert rock digits. 

A further added bonus: 

Miss Spendapenny gets to scream out the closing number on side one, as does Von Shiitter’s kid, Atticus on side two. The result - 14 tracks of ultimate punk that is guaranteed to get even the most constipated listener charging to the crapper. 

William Loveday Under Chatham bogs, 3rd cubical along - Aug 2026

AND there's a VERY LIMITED 7" with an exclusive non-album b-side too.

A-side taken from the forthcoming LP "Charge Of The Shite Brigade"

B-side is exclusive to this release!   Limited to 300 copies only!

So hopefully that's whetted your appetite and lookout for another email soon with the other two albums and another limited 7"

and don't forget, we also have the new, white vinyl, single from THE COURETTES and the debut album and single from DERIK & THE DISASTERS featuring Charlie Harper no less!

IT'S ALL GO!!

Thanks for reading this far, have a good weekend.
