Numero Group to Release Ork Records Box Set Featuring Television, Alex Chilton, the Feelies, More
On Record Store Day (April 18), Numero Group will release a box set compiling Ork Records‘ entire 16-single 1975-1979 output. Co-founded by Television manager Terry Ork and Charles Ball, it was a DIY label that released seminal punk, power pop, no wave, and proto-indie rock music, including the first-ever releases by Television, Richard Hell, Alex Chilton (solo), and many others. That’s Television’s “Little Johnny Jewel Pt. 1″ above—the A-side of their debut release.
The box is being released as a limited run of 2,000. It includes singles from the Feelies, Cheetah Chrome, the dBs, and others—find the full tracklist below.
Numero Group also has two other Record Store Day releases planned: A live album from Bedhead, recorded in 1998, and a compilation called Lows in the Mid Sixties Vol. 54: Kosmic City Part 2 that collects ’60s garage songs from Independence, Missouri’s Cavern Sound studio.
