Early Television, Richard Hell Songs to Feature on New Box Set

Early Television, Richard Hell Songs to Feature on New Box Set:

A new box set will collect the entire "known" output of early punk label Ork Records put out in the mid-Seventies, including songs by Television, ex-Television guitarist Richard Hell, Big Star and Box Tops frontman Alex Chilton, Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome and critic and former Rolling Stone contributor Lester Bangs, among others. The two-CD and four-LP set, Ork Records: New York, New York comes on the heels of the vinyl-only Ork: Box, which came out in a limited edition on Record Store Day.

The release, which will come out on October 30th via Numero Group, also comes with a 120-page book containing photos and stories about the label, which Television's manager, Terry Ork, founded in order to put out their debut seven-inch, "Little Johnny Jewel."

The imprint put out new music from punk and rock & roll bands between 1975 and 1979. Both the vinyl and CD editions of Ork Records: New York, New York will also be available in a version that includes a bonus 45 containing two previously unreleased tracks by the Feelies, "A Boy Next Door" backed with a cover of Burt Bacharach's "My Little Red Book." That edition will be limited to a pressing of 2,000.

The previously released Ork: Box contained 16 seven-inches including "Little Johnny Jewel," Television guitarist Richard Lloyd's "Get Off My Cloud," Chilton's "Singer Not the Song" and Chrome's "Still Wanna Die." The new box set contains 49 songs total, including the ones from the previous box set. A trailer for the new box set is viewable here.
