ONLY 13 DAYS TO GO! Happy Easter yall! Kicking today off with a long out of print re-issue for this years #RecordStoreDay, The Verlaine’s album “Bird Dog”!

One of the most prominent bands out of New Zealand that encapsulate the “Dunedin Sound”, The Verlaines “Bird Dog” is often considered to be their best, most introspective piece of work, and its songs “Slow Sad Love Song,” “Bird Dog,” and “C.D., Jimmy, Jazz and Me” all appeared on You’re Just Too Obscure for Me, the only compilation to span the group’s entire career. “Slow Sad Love Song” was the first song Graeme Downes ever wrote, in 1980, inspired by the suicide of a friend.

Out of print for years, Schoolkids Records is proud to re-issue this classic album exclusively for Record Store Day on opaque purple vinyl, with brand new design and album artwork by the band.

2 weeks to go! Kicking off your Saturday with Dirty Projectors and Björk’s collaboration “Mount Wittenberg Orca (Expanded Version)”, which has never been released in this format and is yet another ‘RSD First’!

The 2xLP Expanded Edition adds 13 bonus tracks of never-before-released material including the live Housing Works performance from 2009, early demos of Mount Wittenberg Orca and archival audio of the band and Bjork rehearsing the material. This is the definitive version of Mount Wittenberg Orca.

The recording was informed by the simple, direct feel of early rock ‘n’ roll recordings from the ’50s. The band and Björk rehearsed for three days at the Rare Book Room in Brooklyn, then recorded the songs as quickly and as live as possible, overdubbing only lead vocals and solos.
