Rare Heads CD through their site
If anyone is after The Heads 'Time Is Now' Man's Ruin compilation - now almost impossible to find at a reasonable price - the band have found a box of them and are selling them at the standard price through their merch page. Well worth it if you don't have it already.

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Thanks for the heads-up (no pun intended). I've been after a copy of this for ages.
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Cheers for that, I've been looking out for it for a while now.
Speaking of The Heads, I've noticed on their site they've listed that they covered the Hawkwind song 'Born to Go.' Does anyone have any idea where I could get a copy/listen to this?

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Born To Go was on a very limited split 10" on Rocket with Lillydam White and Plastic Crimewave Sound. They pop up occasionally but are very pricey. Some here:

That guy with the £75 copy has some cool bits but completely insane prices. £350 for a test press? Madness! If you are still having trouble finding one drop me a PM...

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Thanks for the link, I will be on the lookout for one. That site looks very useful!
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Got my copy today and I'm looking forward to rocking it in the car this evening. Only downside to this release is that the art is pretty weak and it comes in a standard jewel case, as opposed to the awesome LP-style sleeves that Sam Giles makes for them. My understanding is that The Heads themselves didn't have anything to do with the art. This is a minor gripe, obviously, as the music is what counts.
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Its Frank Kozik's art and his (defunct) label.

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Didn't realise this was a rarity. This is is the only Heads CD I own after picking it up from the band off their merch stall when they last played Brighton. Bought it after I asked which album had the song on it which they finished their set with that night which turned out to be the awesome You Can Lean Back Sometimes. Sure my CD jumps quite a bit on some tracks though.

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
You sure about that? I've seen them loads of times (including the same tour you did) and they have never played that track! What's more they have - on every single occasion - finished with Spliff Riff, a track whch does indeed feature on The Time Is Now. They rehearse their set for a while before each tour to get it just right and then stick to that set for every date in my experience so a variation seems unlikely...Ads wrote: Bought it after I asked which album had the song on it which they finished their set with that night which turned out to be the awesome You Can Lean Back Sometimes.
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Am having an issue with Paypal which means a restricted account right now but would like to get both 'Time Is Now!' and 'Time In Space Vol2' but unable to. Would anyone like to buy them for me and I'll forward the money/cheque to you and also I'll throw in 3 very rare compilation CD's with lots of great music on them.
What more can the heart of a man desire?
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Actually Mark, I think you're right. They did finish with Spliff Riff and I bought the album off the strength of that. I then found You Can Lean Back Sometimes on there and couldn't believe it was even better.runcible wrote:You sure about that?

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
I was actually umming and ahhing about buying this as I thought £15 was a bit steep but then just watched that video and bought it straight away. What a performance? As little as I know about the Heads, I forgot how much I enjoyed seeing them in Brighton a couple of years back supporting the Wooden Shjips. Which reminds me, has anyone got a spare ticket for their London show in a couple of weeks?
Also, may have missed it on the forum somewhere else, but was the Heads live in Tilburg album ever posted up on the forum? I see its only available on vinyl and, as I havent got a record player (doh!) I wondered if some kind soul has ripped and uploaded it and, if not, can someone?

Mine has arrived, with brown bag. I'm sure they'll be dropping though letter boxes around the UK in the next day or two.
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
I've received an email from Paypal with postage details saying the CD was dispatched yesterday.

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Mine arrived in Chicago yesterday. I'm glad I got one with the brown paper bag, as it's a really neat addition to the packaging. Can't wait to give it a spin after work today.
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Mine arrived in Ireland today, number 34. The bag has "The Heads Live At Koko" printed on it in the same style as The Who Live At Leeds. Liked the insert too.
Even though we would've ordered at the same time, theWarmth gets his cd in Chicago a day before i get mine in Ireland!!!!

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Koko cd arrived yesterday (#43 w/bag). Sweet Jesus, this is THE way to wake up with morning coffee and the volume turned to 11 Still can't believe we missed this gig by one day. Praying for a U.S. tour before I kick.
I think I feel it coming on
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
I had a brief moment of panic when I thought I forgotten to order "Koko". However, I checked my PayPal account and not only have I got Koko on the way, I'm waiting on the 2xLP of Tilburg. Could be a tad noisy for the neighbours in the near future.....

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
They had a really cool red one at the last couple of gigs I went to. It had this pic on red cotton.

Would love that design but as a green or blue print on a red shirt. Picked up one of those other ones at Koko last year, blue on red, very nice.

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
The Heads site is a money pit for me! Shirt on the way. I can't believe the Tilburg vinyl is still available. Mark, do you know how many were pressed?
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
There were meant to be 500 Tilburg on vinyl but I believe 1000 were pressed by mistake. It's also worth keeping an eye on that merch page as they deliberately don't warn people about new limited things coming out so those that are constantly looking get first dabs.
My shirt arrived this morning - looks nice.

My Tilburg vinyl and Koko CD arrived yesterday. Brilliant service them get it to Melbourne in one piece so quickly. Managed to listen to Koko Live last night - really blistering stuff. Am saving Live in Tilburg up for the weekend when I have the house to myself and no restrictions on volume.

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Oddly enough, i'd never heard the Heads' stuff before.....i'd heard their name around, but never got around to listening to them. I'm watching the "Live At Koko" gig--man, that's on fire. If the Stooges were re-doing "Funhouse", that's what it'd sound like. I love the super over the top lead guitars. Fuck, seriously, this shit is amazing.

February is shaping up to be a great month in terms of my favourite bands, Mogwai, The Heads and The Durutti Column all releasing new material. Hope I score a brown paper bag - I got one with the KoKo CD - brilliant (and v. cheap to produce) marketing.
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
A Koko CD in the paper bag sold for about £120 on Ebay recently...
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Well that caused some minor panic at my house. I had put my paper bag "somewhere safe" and couldn't find it. Cue much disbelief from my wife, followed by laughter as my searching grew more frantic. Turns out I'ld put it in the sleeve to my Tilberg LP. The look on Jackie's face when I told her what the thing was worth was priceless. I'll never hear the end of this though. "He's got $200 paper bags in the collection now, used to be only records with sandpaper sleeves were worth anything....."runcible wrote:A Koko CD in the paper bag sold for about £120 on Ebay recently...
Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
One of the first Rooster releases came in a neat paper bag and I idiotically threw mine away. I realised what I had done next time I was in Bristol and I pleaded with the band for another - luckily one was spare and my set was restored. I know the Koko bags ran out quicker than expected so I was really lucky they had a spare for the older CD.

Re: Rare Heads CD through their site
Why are Heads releases always so strictly limited and on CDR's.... are they not on a proper label as such? I like their music and all but I find it all rather elitist, especially when these things fetch so, so much money on E-Bay. Not sure if they have got their whole supply/demand business model set up correctly Also, is it even worth trying to get hold of any of their albums on vinyl or I'm exposing myself to a world of financial ruin?

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me either that they do such limited runs, when they could clearly sell much larger quanitites and make a bit more money (to record another studio album!). However, I believe I read that they're likely to do a larger second pressing of Vertigo Swills in the future, so perhaps this first run will have fancier/special artwork and is aimed at the hardcore fans.
