Kid Koala - Some Of My Best Friends Are DJs (20th Anniversary Reissue) [Silver Vinyl] (New Vinyl LP)
We have run out of stock for this item.
Description
Vinyl LP pressing. Echoing the power, aggression, and highly charged political anger of the Clash's early work, the Red Rockers' debut album began a cult following - their guitars have teeth, the bass is loud and thick, the drums thump and the vocals cry. This is the essence of the band's five years as America's most pure punk band!
.
Cult classic Some of my Best Friends are DJs is given a new lease of life on the 20th anniversary of release.
It's the Kid Koala you know and love, a turntablized soundtrack of more antics of the cranky and mysterious characters from Kid Koala's comic book land of Nufonia.”
Some of My Best Friends are DJs comes complete with the original 50-page comic book and mini chess game from the first pressing.
On original release, the album was supported by a cabaret-style tour known as “The Short Attention Span Theatre”, which featured 3 DJs on 8 turntables, a slide show and a bingo game among other quirky surprises.
