Featuring Billy at his song writing best! Includes covers of Richard Hell and Jimi Hendrix songs, along with a newly recorded version of 'Bob Dylan's Got a Lot to Answer For'!\u003cbr\u003eWe asked Billy a few questions about this mighty fine album...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreat album title! It will seem counter-intuitive to some but why do you favour failure over success?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the Pop Rivets (the first group I was in in 1977) had been 'successful' in the formal sense, then it would have been a disaster - no learning about sound, growth, and independence. Luckily, we considered ourselves successful from the outset by doing what we wanted the way we wanted. We believed the hype of punk rock - do-it-yourself and lived it, unlike the 'successful' leaders of the movement. I've always wanted small gigs where your open and exposed. The same with recording - excitement, mistakes, humour, and hopefully joy. The reason to become 'successful' is to cut yourself from your origin and roots. In short, we'll decide what success is, not a critic, the world, or public opinion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album opens with a cracking cover of Richard Hell's 'Love Comes in Spurts'. You've previously recorded this with Thee Headcoats on Brother Is Dead... But Fly Is Gone! from 1998. What made you want to revisit the song? Has Richard heard it? If so, what did he think?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI forgot that we did it with Thee Headcoats. If I had that LP, I'd give it a listen. I do remember covering it live with The Pop Rivets in 1978. Richard said he liked it a lot and told his girlfriend he only wants my tunes at his funeral. I said, 'not too soon I hope.' He assured me he's well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eLove Comes In Spurts\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eFailure Not Success\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBeaneath the Flowers Serpents\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWalk of the Sasquatch\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHanging by a Tenuous Thread\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eFire\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Old Long Bar\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCome Into My Life\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSkinwalker\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBecoming Unbecoming Me\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMoon Of The Popping Trees\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBob Dylan's Got a Lot to Answer For\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e DAMAGED GOODS RECORD\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternative\/Punk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37:00 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 03\/10\/23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5020422058811\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"DAMAGED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43635822297337,"sku":"DAMGOOD588LP","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/DAMGOOD588LP.jpg?v=1721422718","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/ctmf-failure-not-success-lp","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
