WILD BILLY CHILDISH & THE CHATHAM SINGERS – Step Out! – LP – Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl

Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways being just a few outfits that Billy has run into the ground. But all that is just a hobby gone out of control – his day job is being an internationally exhibited artist, writer and vermin poet.

Specialising in Chicago style Blues, The Chatham Singers have released five albums since 2005, via Hangman Records and Damaged Goods, and over a dozen 7″ singles, some rarer than others, some worse than others. The Chatham Singers are Billy Childish on Vocals/Guitar, Juju on Vocals/Bass, Wolf Howard on Drums/Percussion and ‘Bludy‘ Jim Riley on Harp.

Here we have a full long player, which includes some of the songs from records only available as limited 45’s, free at their sell-out shows. some of them recorded by The Hangman Field Recording Unit, and others at Bludy Jim’s Ranscombe shack.

And a top notch 7 inch 45 containing two recordings, recorded at Jim Rileys Ranscombe Studios. An alt version of Step Out, with Juju taking lead vocals. C/W Upside Mine a favourite at the gigs.
