Thee Headcoatees - Girlsville (LP, Album, RE)

Label: Damaged Goods

Thee Headcoatees' Girlsville is reissued on Damaged Goods, marking its first UK pressing since the original 1991 release. This edition adds two early singles, 'Headcoat Girl' and 'Davey Crockett', extending the album's scrappy, hook-filled set.Written and assembled around a kitchen table, Girlsville captures the band's loose, collaborative energy at its peak. Tracks like 'Wild Man', 'Round Every Corner' and 'First Plane Home' sit alongside a Kinks cover and 'Meet Jacqueline', reflecting a mix of originals and offbeat choices that shaped their live shows.As recalled by Miss Ludella Black, the album came together quickly but with a strong sense of purpose, setting the tone for what followed. It remains a sharp introduction to the group's stripped-back garage sound and irreverent charm.
