Kooky Records web v2.0

As sported by Vini Reilly on the new album , customised by Luke From Parks Dept. This years must have is a kooky T !!!


Fac Off and get one ( hasn't that one been done already ?)

Check out the brand new Kooky Disc MySpace Music page at myspace.com/kookydisc.

Sample a superb selection of Kooky sounds from the last few years including The Durutti Column, The Parks Dept (a demo / work in progress from the forthcoming album), The Retro Spankees, New Buffalo, and, last but not least, Winston Echo.

Hello,

Whilst everyone is enjoying the new Durutti Column album 'Love in The Recession' we are busy curating and arranging the re-release of the first four albums.

Our initial thoughts are as follows :-


Four incredibly well re-mastered albums, all under the guise of Keir Stewart, which will be issued in original formats and running orders ( no bonus tracks)

One disc of demo's mainly from the LC period and prior. Some are studio quality/studio out-takes, some four track and some home recordings. We may also add the 'other' Return of.. track and Mavuchka.

One disc of live material, mainly from 1984/1985, when the 'Without Mercy' Brass section and John Metcalfe toured, prior to the trip to Japan.

We will have a great art package too. It will be in a box ( surely) and we hope to include some frame-friendly prints too.


It will retail at a very competitive price, which we hope to be around £30..... released in the Summer

Hope this whets your appetite and more news will follow soon

Check out the video for Saturday by The Parks Dept. Directed by Robert Farmer the video uses an innovative digital stills animation technique.
