Thee Mighty Caesars 'Beware The Ides Of March' (1985)
The Ides of March is the name of 15 March in the Roman calendar, probably referring to the day of the full moon. The term is best known as the date that Julius Caesar was killed in 44 B.C. Julius Caesar was stabbed (23 times) to death in the Roman Senate led by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus and 60 other co-conspirators.
On his way to the Theatre of Pompey (where he would be assassinated), Caesar visited with a seer who had foretold that harm would come to him not later than the Ides of March. Caesar joked, "Well, the Ides of March have come", to which the seer replied "Ay, they have come, but they are not gone." This meeting is famously dramatized in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, when Caesar is warned to "beware the Ides of March". - wikipedia

Happiness for once


Medway Powerhouse Volume 1 (1987)
Ever since the Pop Rivets took to the stage a Detling Village Hall in September 1977, the feet of Medway have been tapping to a generation of home-grown Rock & Roll groups. This showcase of Punk and Beat gives you, the listener, the first opportunity to hear (14) great unreleased tracks by the likes of the Milkshakes, the Prisoners, plus many, many more . . .

Caesars brave and tall


Thee Mighty Caesars 'Acropolis Now' (1986)
Once again Billy Childish proves he is the dictator of love. Garage punk love with a capital "G" and a capital "P". Describing his music, Billy once proclaimed, "Half the songs I steal ideas direct, the other half indirect, which is true of everyone. Sometimes I have an idea of my own..." I feel like giving in!
