Thee Headcoatees • A Curious Case Of... 4CD Box Set

Thee Headcoatees get the deluxe box-set treatment with A Curious Case Of..., a four-CD collection bringing together their first four albums in one compact set. Spanning Girlsville, Have Love Will Travel, Ballad Of The Insolent Pup and Punk Girls, this 54-track collection provides a substantial trip through the raw, infectious Garage Rock and Punk of one of the key bands to emerge from the Medway scene.

The set opens with the 14 tracks of Girlsville, including Wild Man, When The Night Comes, Stolen Love, Meet Jacqueline and Davey Crockett. Have Love Will Travel follows with another 14 tracks, mixing tough Garage Rock with catchy, characterful songs such as Baby Please, Big Boss Man and My Boyfriend's Learning Karate. Ballad Of The Insolent Pup adds another 14 tracks, including What Once Was, This Heart, All My Feelings Denied and the title track.

The fourth disc is Punk Girls, a 12-track blast featuring Punk Girl, Don't Wanna Hold Your Hand, Billy B. Childish, Teenage Kicks, Pinhead, Cara-Lin, Punk Boy, Zig-Zag and Ça Plane Pour Moi. Alongside the music, the box includes brand new artwork by Bruce Brand and a booklet featuring a look back at the band's story from Thee Headcoatees themselves. A superb way to collect the first four albums in one small box, A Curious Case Of... is a substantial dose of raw Medway Garage Rock, primitive Punk and unforgettable songs.
