      Mighty Caesars - Little By Little
      Thee Stash - We're Selling Jeans For The USA

      Hi John!

      Yeah, I'm a huge Childish-fan, too, but it's pretty hard to keep track of all of his work. Actually, almost every record I bought is good, but here are my favourites of the albums I own:

      The Milkshakes - "Nothing Can Stop These Men"
      Thee Headcoats - "Beach Bums Must Die!"
      Billy Childish and the MBE - "Christmas 1979"
      Billy Childish and Holly Golightly - "In Blood" (this record, in fact, brought back my belief in guitar music after having drifted off to dubstep and stuff like that)
      The Delmonas - "Dangerous Charms"

      The Childish compilation "Archive of 1959" is an interesting overview with some fine tunes (like "Kray Twins (demo)" by the Pop Rivets).

      Also try to get the following compilations:

      "Hey Mom! The Garage is on my foot!" (this one is still available on CD on the DamGood website); "A Hangman Sampler" (I really love this one, but since it's from 1988, I only have an mp3 copy of this); the whole "Medway Powerhouse" series. These are hard to get, I guess, but they're on the internet somewhere (just to pass the time until you can get physical copies of them).

      And I'd love to have the Headcoats Sect vinyl "Deerstalking Men", for the title track is a killer. Oh, and also try the supergreat Kravin' "A"s with Milkshake Bruce Brand on guitar!

      Have fun hunting!

      Cheers, Doc

      You pretty much can't go wrong with any Childish record. I love every record I have so far, and definitely need more. I have:

      Thee Headcoats- Beach Bums Must Die
      Thee Headcoats- Earls of Suavedom
      Thee Mighty Caesars- Thusly, Thee Might Caesars
      Wild Billy Childish and the MBE's- Thatcher's Children
      Wild Billy Childish and the MBE's- It Should Be Me b/w Loray Head 7"
      Wild Billy Childish and the MBE's- Daddy Rolling Stone 12"
      The Pop Rivets- Fun in the UK
