World Party Dig Deep on New Box Set

March 5, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Acclaimed British alt-rocker Karl Wallinger will release the first-ever box set for his long-running project, World Party, next month.

Arkeology collates 70 unreleased tracks, featuring B-sides, live cuts, demos, outtakes and other ephemera across five discs. The set will be uniquely packaged with a 142--page "Any Year Diary," featuring liner notes, rare photos and memorabilia from Wallinger's archives as well as a day calendar for fans to use however they please. “The reason it’s all inside an any-year diary is because I just got so sick of the CD packaging," Wallinger said in a statement. "I’m glad the whole CD format is dying, but I really didn’t want to put something out that was only digital.”

In two years with Mike Scott's band The Waterboys, Wallinger made a name for himself as a unique guitarist and arranger. After leaving The Waterboys, Wallinger's World Party cut their first record, 1986's Private Revolution in his home. While Wallinger is the only official member of the group, those early albums saw him collaborate with other members of The Waterboys (minus Scott) as well as a then-unknown Irish vocalist named Sinead O'Connor. World Party have enjoyed moderate but sustained chart success in the U.S., including the Top 40 hit "Ship of Fools" and the modern rock hits "Put the Message in the Box" and "Way Down Now." Wallinger's 1997 song "She's the One" was later covered by British pop icon Robbie Williams, whose version hit No. 1 in the U.K. and won several major British music awards.

The box will be released April 10 (Super Deluxe Edition reports the box is likely to be delayed in the U.K.) and can be ordered now. The as-yet un-annotated track list follows below.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Can't wait for this - while I liked Best in Show as a nice compilation, I was hoping for either a new record or an unearthing of the archives such as this as Wallinger recovered his health. The man is a rare talent, laying out an expert song and production craft that has a message but doesn't preach to the listener. This will ease the pain of missing out on the Beach Boys reunion tour.

    I couldn't agree more. I love this guy, and wish he would tour near me and soon.
