Klark Kent

From the twisted minds of one of rock's most celebrated drummers came a burst of tongue-in-cheek post-punk by Klark Kent, a mysterious presence who made a brief cameo on the U.K. pop charts. Now, the Klark Kent album - out of print for over 25 years - gets a generously expanded double-CD reissue next month with 14 previously unreleased bonus tracks! Dig past the lofty liner-notes of the original Klark Kent EP - pressed on green 10" vinyl with a K-shaped die-cut sleeve - and you'll find the

RSD 2023

Record Store Day! It's that time again where music lovers and vinyl flippers get together at their favorite physical music retailers and wait in line to snag some treasured albums - almost all of which are pressed on vinyl instead of CD (or, you know, sold on secondary marketplaces for above their retail value). It's certainly easy to be cynical about this stuff, but the crux of the idea still lives: find some music that moves you, something from an old favorite you've maybe never heard

On November 4, UMC will reissue the record with its "original" expanded track list that was apparently shortened at the last minute. In addition to the inclusion of three non-album tracks - the haunting tracks "I Burn for You" and "Once Upon a Daydream" (released on the soundtrack to

The Police Around the World, a travelogue/live chronicle showcasing Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers on their ascent to the mantle of biggest band in the world, will get its first release on DVD and Blu-ray
