Vinyl Box Set of Ork Records Singles Will Feature Television, Alex Chilton + More
The Numero Group will put out an expansive vinyl box set chronicling the output of New York label Ork Records -- named after the label’s owner and Television manager Terry Ork -- between the years of 1975-1979.
‘Ork: Box’ will come with 16 7-inches featuring singles from Television, as well as the band’s former bassist, Richard Hell, and ex-guitarist Richard Lloyd. It will also come with tracks from Big Star’s Alex Chilton, Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome, plus previously unreleased songs from the Feelies and Erasers.
While the arrival of ‘Ork: Box’ is still a few months away -- it’ll hit stores in time for Record Store Day on April 18 -- you can listen to Ork Records’ very first release, Television’s 1975 debut single, ‘Little Johnny Jewel,’ below:
