Italian label Alga Marghen has just reissued Milk From Cheltenham's 1983 LP Triptych of Poisoners on CD. The album was originally available in a limited pressing of 300 copies on the legendary and highly collectable It's War Boys label. This release marks the beginning of an extensive reissue campaign of the It's War Boys back catalog, which also includes rare cassette and LP releases by Amos and Sara, Nancy Sesay and the Melodaires, Vic Serf, The Ululators, The Fear Merchants and Narky Brillans. All of these bands are basically the same personnel - Lepke Buchwater and L. Voag/Xentos Fray Bentos from The Homosexuals, Die Trip Computer Die and a myriad other esoteric and hard-to-find underground bands. Fans of the Homosexuals/DTCD/It's War Boys project, in all of its incarnations, include Steven Stapleton, who named his record label United Dairies in honor of the band name Milk From Cheltenham.
