WILLIAM LOVEDAY INTENTION, THE	Great Loveday Wonder	2LP	RARE COOL STUFF	RARECOOL 001LP
$44.00 IN STOCK "Happy Listener -- it is my dubious pleasure to present a random selection of demonstration recordings by William Ivy Loveday. Dulcet guitar tones are occasionally offered up by a Mister D Tattersall, and a Mister J Riley can also be heard playing harp on some excellent tracks. All that now remains is for you to sit back on your palliasse and open your lug-holes. Be ye enthralled or disgusted, you can't help but be disgusted in the presence of a true poet." --Jack Ketch, Stranded, Angel Island, California 2023. Limited edition of 475 copies; Heavy duty black vinyl; special kraft paper jacket; hand stamped and numbered; custom printed insert.

WILLIAM LOVEDAY INTENTION, THE	Paralysed By The Mountains	LP	DAMAGED GOODS	DAMGOOD 564LP
$21.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Brand new studio album by The William Loveday Intention as part of their 'career in a year'!" "The cover pic is from a visit I made with my son and friends to the artist Giovanni Segantini's hut in the High Alps sometime around 2016. Segantini (1858-1899), was an illiterate and stateless artist famous for his paintings made in the Engadin. The title track is about living your life through someone else's YouTube channel: a blow-by-blow account of how their life in the frozen north is more, picturesque, sensitive, fun, enlightened and artistic than yours could ever be. 'Stood Upon a Chair' is about the villain Jessie James, but without the romance part that is usually added to such tales. 'You Gotta Move', a Mississippi Fred McDowell cover, is one of the best recordings we've ever made. Here I'm accompanied by my wife Julie and my friend Dave Tattersall who plays electric slide guitar. A true gem which should make someone, somewhere, rich and famous. (Or at least make Mick Jagger blush with shame.) Topping it all off we hit a couple of old Headcoats numbers with added verses that reveal the hidden depth behind those impeccable pop songs." --William Loveday 2022

WILLIAM LOVEDAY INTENTION, THE	The Baptiser	LP	DAMAGED GOODS	DAMGOOD 565LP
$21.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Brand new studio album by The William Loveday Intention! As part of an incredibly productive year by one of the world's most productive and cherished artists, Billy Childish releases a new LP by The William Loveday Intention as part of his attempt at 'a career in a year'." "The Baptiser is titled after John The Baptiser, Christ's teacher who proclaimed that you don't need to make blood sacrifices in the temple of Jerusalem to have communion with God - it's direct one to one in the desert, wearing a camel hair shirt and eating the fruits of the honey locust tree. The LP has many spiritual highs and blaming lows. It should move and sound like the contents of a thinking mind." --William Loveday, 2022

WILLIAM LOVEDAY INTENTION, THE	Blud Under The Bridge	LP	DAMAGED GOODS	DAMGOOD 546LP
$19.00 NOT IN STOCK "I never really bothered putting my poetry into pop music before, it showed up now and again but I never made a point of it. However, in lockdown it just came to my mind as something to follow through on. As is quite normal for me, I booked the studio time then under that pressure wrote two or three songs the night before, (on a few occasions, at eight in the morning before I left home. As usual there where no rehearsals, but under the lockdown conditions over half of the tracks are just me and Jim Riley (engineer) doing everything -- drums, guitar, bass, organ -- because no one else would brave the plague and come into the studio. Those tracks sit hidden within the actual group recordings and sound the same as if recorded by the group. When mixing we see it all visually - the room in the mind's eye - where all the players sit; the drummer to the right; the vocalist is stood up front; the wood paneling on the walls of a top end US studio in the '60s / '70s. Jim was in the local R'n'B group in '77, and I was in the local punk group. We came to be friends then and are both obsessed with the 'sound' in music. This is how music is to me: a picture in sound. It has to have an origin, an emptiness and a vulnerability. I don't look for guitars to be impressive, I'm sick of impressive ego driven music -- I want authentic heart music. No one asked for one LP of this stuff, now there are five (including the Hangman Records release The New and Improved Bob Dylan.) As in all my endeavors, games and life, I only do what I do irrespective of what's wanted or required and then force it on the world regardless." --William Loveday (December 1st 2020)
