2022 – UPDATE  NOW RE-ISSUED ON LOVELY BLACK VINYL WITH A NEW COVER

One of our favourite early releases and a rather overlooked classic album, a one off collaboration between Billy Childish and legendary Medway folkies The Singing Loins’

Originally released on the 1st April 1994

Loins&Billy-sml

This was recorded in 1993 when Billy was in Thee Headcoats and The Singing Loins were in their first incarnation

Loins Billy + KyraIt was a co-release with the final incarnation of Billy’s Hangman Records, this label was Hangman’s Daughter, the LP on Hangman’s Daughter (Cat No: SCRAG1UP) the CD on Damaged Goods (Cat No: DAMGOODCD22)

The original LP had a b/w cover, CD was colour.

The Singing Loins formed in late 1990, a two-piece band playing “Authentic raw folk from the Medway Delta”.

They are Chris Broderick on Vocals / Stick and Chris ‘Arfur’ Allen on Guitar. They had recorded two classic albums before this both of which were released on Billy’s own Hangman records.

The album features a few Childish classics reworked including ‘You Make Me Die’ and ‘Every Bit Of Me’ as well as 4 tracks written by Billy & The Loins especially for this album.

Sadly Chris died in early 2022 but he said he wanted the remaining ‘Loins’ to carry on so there is a new E.P. and full length album as a tribute to Chris or the Loins and Billy Childish. SCRAG1
