BMG announces the November 17 release of a deluxe edition of Stewart Copeland’s Klark Kent, a new comprehensive collection available on 2LP, 2CD, and digital formats and now available for pre-order.
Today, the remastered 1978 single, “Too Kool to Kalypso,” is available at DSPs. Originally released as a 7″ single, the track is one of the non-album original studio recordings that appear on the collection.
Featuring newly remastered versions of all the original non-album singles, the full 1980 self-titled album, plus two previously unreleased studio recordings, Klark Kent showcases Copeland on all of the instruments and vocals. The CD and digital formats include 12 previously unreleased demo versions. The set includes the single “Don’t Care,” which hit the UK Top 50 chart in advance of any song by The Police.
The first solo project by a member of The Police, Klark Kent‘s innovative music, released on Kryptone Records, began in 1978 as a series of singles and culminated in a 1980 self titled album recently reissued as a limited Record Store Day vinyl release.
In 1995, Copeland released a compilation of his songs for Kollected Works.
