K-tells : Punk and Disorderly!

VA - New Wave (Vertigo 6300 902 UK) (2022, 45th Anniversary Remastered Expanded Edition) (1977)         This fondly remembered and much sought after Vertigo compilation album from 1977 has never been released on CD. It was originally released on vinyl and cassette in multiple countries: the UK, France, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Mexico and Japan. Many countries featured slightly different track listings to the original UK version.  The original UK edition featured 16 classic new wave tracks. 

This special 2022 45th anniversary expanded edition features an additional 9 bonus tracks taken from the various editions released around the world. It now includes every track from every version making a 25 track compilation with a new CD running time of 76:12.

VA - No Wave: An Album of a Lot of Different Groups (A&M Records SP 4738 US, CAN) (2023, 45th Anniversary Remastered Expanded Edition) (2CD) (1978)         No Wave was a compilation album originally released in the US and Canada by A&M Records in 1978 and featured new wave artists all signed to the A&M label. They each had slightly different track listings. In 1979 the album was released in the UK, Spain, the Netherlands and Japan, again with a different track listing to the 1978 US and Canada versions, and different cover artwork. It was issued in a number of various coloured vinyl editions, along with a special picture disc, which featured a round pizza on side 2! For this 45th anniversary special expanded edition I have selected the very best songs from all editions, plus added a few bonus tracks by the same artists, released at the same time,  plus probably the most famous and rarest A&M 7" 45 single; 'God Save the Queen' by the Sex Pistols, which sold for £22,155 in 2006. Record Collector magazine named the A&M single the most collectable record of all time. This now 25 track CD has a running time of 78:55.  

If a follow up volume two had ever been released, then this might have been it. I decided to make a second 21 track CD once again featuring A&M 'new wave' recording artists from 1978-1982 with a running time of 78:16.

VA - 20 of Another Kind (Polydor POLS 1006 UK) (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1978)         20 of Another Kind is a UK 20-track punk and new wave compilation LP originally first released in Ireland by Polydor in 1978, and then in the rest of the UK in February 1979. It includes an otherwise unreleased studio version of 'Killing an Arab' by The Cure. The vocal track & some instrumental parts are different and it predates the album version with a production that is rougher and more basic. The sleeve dates the song from 1978 and states 'Eighteen Age Records' instead of 'Fiction' and it is rumoured that this version was incorrectly included by Polydor, and unavailable anywhere else!  Also, on the original 1978 Ireland Polydor record label, it lists 'Hong Kong Garden' by Siouxsie & the Banshees as track 1 side A. This may have been a rights issue or a misprint (although it was a Polydor single) and the song pulled at the last minute, as all copies, as far as I'm aware, begin with 'Ça Plane Pour Moi' by Plastic Bertrand.   For this 2022 expanded edition, I have added 'Hong Kong Garden', along with another 7 bonus tracks by artists featured on the original album, all released in 1977 and 1978, making a 28 track CD with a running time of 79:21.

VA - 20 of Another Kind Volume Two (Polydor POLX 1 UK) (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) (1979)         The follow up volume two containing 20 more classic punk and new wave tracks, released again by Polydor in 1979. A few very hard to find tracks in their original UK 7" 45 single versions are featured. A number have been released on CD, but either in later recorded album versions, or earlier demos, but not the original 7" 45 single versions.  For this 2022 expanded edition, I have added another 6 bonus tracks by artists featured on the original album, all released in 1978 and 1979, making a 26 track CD with a running time of 80:19.

Compiled as always using the very latest and highest quality digital remasters for superior sound quality and enjoyment.
