THE GUY HAMPER TRIO (FEAT. JAMES TAYLOR) – Chatham’s Burning EP – 7” – Vinyl [MAR 14]

7” EP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl. Only 500 copies pressed.

The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums – who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ – and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ.

The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, Blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognised as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music.

This fully-loaded three-track 7″ EP includes ‘Chatham’s Burning” on the opening face, (Chatham Burning being the title of Billy Childish’s Punk fanzine in 1977) with Face B including ‘A Common Disease and ‘If People Don’t Like It‘, both featuring Bash Brand on drums, and Tub Johnson on bass. Once again, after consultation with experts in the field, it was decreed that for the enjoyment of Mods, jive experts, lost revellers, and those prone to frequent discotheques, these tracks needed to be on a 7″ single and made available throughout England, the UK, Europe, the USA, Indonesia and indeed Portsmouth.

Tracklist:

Face A
