Return of the Kinetic Kid: Stewart Copeland’s ‘Klark Kent’ Gets a Bonus-Packed Reissue

October 18, 2023 by Mike Duquette | 6 Comments

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 unmistakable rhythms of Stewart Copeland,…

The Second Disc’s Record Store Day 2023 Shopping Guide

April 21, 2023 by The Second Disc | 6 Comments

October 17, 2022 by Mike Duquette | 6 Comments

For most fans of The Police, the story of their penultimate album, 1981’s Ghost in the Machine, is pretty cut and dried. But a forthcoming picture disc release hints at a road not taken for the beloved LP. 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 Brimstone & Treacle and the…
