Artist:	GOLIGHTLY & DAN MELCHIOR, HOLLY
Title:	Desperate Little Town
Label:	DAMAGED GOODS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	DAMGOOD 338CD

"Reissue of a great lost album, a collaboration between Holly Golightly & Dan Melchior that was originally released on Sympathy For The Record Industry Records from California. It's been out of print for around eight years and Holly & Dan thought it was about time we put that right. Recorded in London and California in 1999 with long time friend Bruce Brand on percussion this album features 10 tracks, some of which you'll know if you've seen Holly play in the last decade, like 'Directly From My Heart' & 'Further On Up The Road' but here they're given very warm re-workings."

Artist:	MILKSHAKES, THE
Title:	The 107 Tapes
Label:	DAMAGED GOODS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	DAMGOOD 363CD

"This is a re-issue of the 1986 Media Burn compilation of demos from July 1981 and a couple of German live shows from April 1983. The Milkshakes were mainly Micky Hampshire (Git/Vox), Billy Childish (Git/Vox), Bruce Brand (Drums), and Russ Wilkins (Bass). When his punk band, the Pop Rivets, broke up in 1980, Billy Childish formed a new group with Mickey Hampshire, a Pop Rivets roadie who had been performing in a group called Mickey and the Milkshakes. The two began writing songs together and released their first LP, Talkin' About, in 1981. With Childish on guitar and vocals, Hampshire on guitar and vocals, Bruce Brand on drums, and Russ Wilkins (later replaced by John Agnew) on bass, the Milkshakes sound was a primitive blend of British beat groups, like the early Kinks at their toughest, and hard-rocking American guitar instrumentalists, like Link Wray. This sound came to be known as the 'Medway sound' and Childish has been playing a variation on it throughout his whole career."

Gatefold 2LP version. "This is a re-issue of the 1986 Media Burn compilation of demos from July 1981 and a couple of German live shows from April 1983, back on double LP for the first time in 24 years. The Milkshakes were mainly Micky Hampshire (Git/Vox), Billy Childish (Git/Vox), Bruce Brand (Drums), and Russ Wilkins (Bass). When his punk band, the Pop Rivets, broke up in 1980, Billy Childish formed a new group with Mickey Hampshire, a Pop Rivets roadie who had been performing in a group called Mickey and the Milkshakes.

Artist:	PINEY GIR
Title:	Geronimo!
Label:	DAMAGED GOODS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.50
Catalog #:	DAMGOOD 379CD

"You know what? It's time for some straight-talking: Piney Gir put the cowboy boots away, shelved the stylophone beatbox, and hit the loudest 12-string open-E chord you ever did hear. Piney Gir released her debut album Peakahokahoo on Truck Records in 2004. She was then the singer and guitarist of all-girl, art-rock, cult faves the Schla La Las. Now Kansas' most unique songwriter returns with her finest album to date. Geronimo! is pure pop brilliance, a tell-it-to-the-Byrds journey into heartbreak, friendship and new love. After these forty minutes you'll have caught the sun and people will ask you where you've been on holiday. And the answer will be 'I went to LA in the '60s via the Plastic Ono Band with a twist of Captain Beefheart. I drank the Kool-Aid and I'll never be the same again.' From the quit-the-bar-hit-the-road verve of 'Let's Get Silly', to the romantic opener 'Outta Sight', you're going to remember why true love matters and why pop music, at least, will never run off with someone else."
