[kj] "Singles Collection" US release: Warning

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

Amazon has it for $14 with a release date of June 4.

 

But it appears to be a two-disc set only, without the 3rd rarities disc. Fairly warned, be ye. Just buy it from Amazon UK; the price comes out about the same anyway.

 

Two CD set. 2013 collection from the British Post-Punk legends fronted by Jaz Coleman. With a fierce intelligence plus a thirst for esoteric knowledge that matches a music that is visceral and almost spiritual in its primal spirit, Killing Joke are like no other band. This is a group who came out of Punk and then set out on one of the most remarkable and idiosyncratic journeys ever. The Singles Collection 1979 -2012 captures their ever-evolving story with a series of dark, apocalyptic songs, they have successfully combined Disco and Funk and a shamanic wisdom with the dark side of the Punk fall-out. Their influence has been enormous, with an unlikely roll-call of musicians taking their cues from the KJ catalogue - from Nirvana to most modern American Metal to many DJs and dance music mavericks. few, however, coming close to the band's innate power. 33 tracks. 

 

I have it already, of course, and am still quietly smoldering over the absence of "Turn to Red, " "Pssyche" or "Change" instead of two tracks from OTG and "Fresh Fever" just because they released it on a split single for Record Store Day.

 

Also, "New Uprising" needed to be on that 3rd disc.
