Classic garage rock!"Elementary my dear Watson." Thee Headcoats were definitely one of the most influential garage bands of all time. However, Billy Childish and his English friends finally called it quits last year. Yet this CD encompases EVERY Headcoats 7" record ever released. What an incredible idea!

"Elementary my dear Watson." Thee Headcoats were definitely one of the most influential garage bands of all time. However, Billy Childish and his English friends finally called it quits last year. Yet this CD encompases EVERY Headcoats 7" record ever released. What an incredible idea! Honestly I never thought any label would actually be able to do it, but here we have over 50 incredible songs by Thee Headcoats. All of the songs are taken from the original 7" recordings and put on to two extremely long CD's. A lot of these 7" records have been out of print for years, and there was no other place to get these original recordings until now. If you've never heard Thee Headcoats before, or if you've been a fan for years, this is an excellent CD that anyone familiar with the genre would appreciate. Bravo!

Folks, Thee Headcoats are one of the greatest garage bands ever, but it's not easy wading through the same 3 chords over and over for 50 songs. This is the type of band better heard in a brief 30 minute blast of energy. Headcoats fans will eat this album up, but for a newcomer I re…
