It's Bandcamp Friday again, which is always a big help for daft lads like us.
We've reduced the price of our latest album, 'This Blue Earth' on CD & vinyl so those who are yet to get their mitts on it can do so, and can be more like Stanley..

Imagine being around for this, the birth of Rocksteady - it must have been absolutely magic.

Today's Sunday Service is all about this glorious, if brief, scene. No chatter, just Rocksteady.

This is great - some classic Rocksteady Reggae Soul to ease us all into the Day of Rest..

We've needed a bit of recuperation since the big launch of This Blue Earth, and are now gearing ourselves for getting out and about across the UK next year - we're doing most things ourselves, so does anyone have any good promoters in other cities they'd recommend!?

What a thread of posts! Nice one!!

So finally getting to wrap our lugs around @theshipbuilders.bsky.social
2nd album after bagging one in Probe when we were in Liverpool. Here it is booming around the Piazza Sturzo, Sciacca, Sicily.

“You say I’m daydreaming, that maybe true, but I just can’t dream unless I’m dreaming about you”

Colourful artwork, with different animals, from early released singles by the Liverpool band The Shipbuilders on display

Get your mucky hands on it right here folks, plus so much more wonderful Shipbuilding goodness…

Side A of an LP copy of the Liverpool band The Shipbuilders 2nd album This Blue Earth sits on a white turntable on shelves with more LPs stored below

“I have more than one man deserves, on this blue earth”

Buy it. Grab the vinyl/CD/mp3, whatever. Support artists who self-release impeccable music like this. Spread peace & love not hate. And “never trust a man with a flagpole in his garden.” Or one who paints a curb or a roundabout either. ✊💚

The inside artwork and lyrics of an LP copy of Liverpool band The Shipbuilders 2nd album This Blue Earth, is displayed on steps

It is incredible in every way. From the horns, to the artwork, to the amount of bass players 😜, to how the songs released on Matty’s 2 solo albums have now been made fully formed. Plus there’s Flagpole and La Dolce Vita, first heard way back 5 years ago during the lockdown live ‘Bunker Sessions’.

What a thread of posts! Nice one!!

'these' being themselves, it seems. Plus la change..

🙈

Here we fugging go. Into these!

Flagpole

In a world which labels kindness as meekness
Never let it be said that compassion is a weakness
Do I run away to the sea of tranquility,
or try to stay afloat in this swamp of futility?

There are certain truths to be learned fast and hard..

Ah, thank you! ✊

Oh I love this

Flagpole

In a world which labels kindness as meekness
Never let it be said that compassion is a weakness
Do I run away to the sea of tranquility,
or try to stay afloat in this swamp of futility?

There are certain truths to be learned fast and hard..
