Howling Willie - World of Filth

Hmmm, Howling Willie's CD could be an issue everywhere. Amazon's page says that if you order it now, you won't get it before Christmas. And let's face it, it is an ideal Christmas present.

For Granny.

Well, for one Granny at the very least. :wink:

Is there a delay with the release? Amazon have despatched the single, but radio silence as far as "Filth". Does Cargo have it in stock?

by **Damian** » 21st Nov 06, 19:51

It's on HMV's download service, and Cargo claim to have it in stock...

Spoke with Cargo. Joe will have it en route to me tomorrow...fine chap that he is.

I've just cancelled my order with HMV.

Ordered GDW album and Ginger/Howlin Willie single...as someone else mentioned they have a special order so i'll just order from Amazon instead as they're not f*cking hopeless.

Good luck with that, they're currently quoting 4 - 6 weeks for Howling Willie. You might be better off going straight to Cargo like Keith (and me if they don't have it in the shops tomorrow).

My shop (metro HMV) got 3 copies in, but they didnt make it to the shop floor cos of the SHEER AMOUNT of Oasis, U2, Beatles and Now 2674 we got in, so they were still behind the counter waiting to go out. One person asked for it and they were found it, I bought one at the end of my shift, so if anyone wants to go the Metro Centre tomorrow there's one left.....

I suggest you do. The titles are a mere hint of the genius that awaits!

Cancelled my order with HMV and placed one with Cargo.

Mr Weeblboy - could you give us an insight as to the quality of the CD?

I'm dead curious and the titles are feckin' genius.

There's some more tracks added to the myspace page

Found the album in HMV in Merry Hell, they had one copy - no bloody GDW though, and it was quite annoying trying to get the girl behind the counter to enter it into their confuser to check stock (surprisingly they didn't have anything by Godam Horse either :roll:

).

It strikes me as odd that they've censored the name on the front but done nothing to the picture on the back.

Musicwise, there's some really great playing on there - some real effort's gone into the backing tracks. The lyrics are, on (in?) the whole, pure filth - thank god for liberal obscenity laws. Some fairly inspired reworkings of a few country classics too in Cunts On Roads, Columbian Lineman andWhite Guys.

Love Country Boy too, especially the instrumental section.

Who's listed as playing on the album?

Vocals by Howling Willie, music by a fairly lengthy list of people all of whom have names just on the believable side of made up. One of the backing singers is called Sue Denim though, so...

All songs by Ginger, who's listed as 'Additional Vocals' along with Jase Edwards and Tim Smith (producers all three) and severeal others.

Oh and woohoo, bonus, the lyrics are in the sleeve.

Cheers mate. Can't wait to hear it!
