Television, Alex Chilton, Richard Hell, the Feelies, the dBs and more are to appear on a 4xLP/2xCD set collecting the output of early punk label Ork Records.
Ork Records: New York, New York is released on October 30, 2015 by the Numero Group.
Ork was formed by Television manager Terry Ork and Charles Ball in 1975, ostensibly to release Television’s debut single, “Little Johnny Jewel“. Rolling Stone reports that the two-CD or four-LP set Ork Records: New York, New York comes soon after the vinyl-only Ork: Box, which was released as a limited edition on Record Store Day.
All formats of Ork Records: New York, New York are accompanied by a deluxe 190-page book while a limited edition of both the CD and vinyl sets comes with a 45 featuring two previously unreleased tracks by the Feelies. “The Boy With The Perpetual Nervousness” is an unreleased studio track from 1978, backed with cover of Burt Bacharach’s “My Little Red Book” recorded live at CBGBs in December, 1976.
