In April 2020 The Korgis didn't just decide to write their first album in 30 years - they knew they had to!

It's a concept album man!

The whole work runs seamlessly - or sometimes crashes violently - from one track into the next... much as time itself lurches us from euphoric highs, to new lows.

Kartoon World by The Korgis is an epic body of music seamlessly spanning a 50 year period. It begins in 1980 and ends in 2030 with a blinding realisation. The world is headed for a colossal fall, and the power of Love - not technology - would be the one undisputable answer!

Journey with us, from the past to the future, and see how we narrowly escape the demise of the human race - or certainly the human race as we know it!

With the release of Kartoon World comes a pledge. That pledge begins and ends with Love.

It is what the world needs Now!

Well isn't it about time we had something more than the same pop song churned out by a built-in-obsolescence X-factor contestant?

Remember when vinyl was cool?... when you could hold that big sleeve in your hand and pull out a big poster?

Well it's even cooler now, so if you haven't got a record deck NOW is the chance to pop out and get one and be DOWN with the kids!

We have perfected a special mix that sounds much more retro - I mean - we want all those old fashioned peaks in the performance to be perfectly captured as they were in the studio.

This vinyl version includes a full size fold out poster that features Leah Darknell's cartoons - part of the inspiration leading up to and throughout the making of the album - and Al Steele's cryptic timeline descriptors for each song. On the reverse side are the lyrics (quite a read!) and all the musician/vocalist credits.

A 2nd poster accompanies the Deluxe CD, so we figured what the hell, we'll throw this in the other pocket! This contains all the info on how the vinyl mixes were achieved and the sort of decisions that were made to make this sound special.

There is a section on the history of the making of the album and there are also LOT'S of extra pics!

It is not just the mix that is different. To make this record the best it can be, we have made different cuts in the music. Back in the 60's and 70's an album was never more than 50 mins long in order to preserve the transients. We have cooked up a unique mix just for this edition - we hope you are as excited as us about a return to quality over volume!

If you are, then this lovingly created product is the one for you!

All physical products include a digital download - email required.

Although we had to leave 3 tracks off the vinyl the download reinstates those 3 tracks.

Now... we know that vinyl is not for everyone and we didn't want you CD lovers to miss out on those dynamic retro vinyl mixes!

This double CD contains - not surprisingly - two different versions of the album.

CD1
This is the regular mix - optimised for radio, or car journeys where you want to impress passers by with your sub-woofer turned way up!

This one comes in at some 6 minutes longer than the vinyl - because we can!

It also includes a fold out poster that features Leah Darknell's cartoons - part of the inspiration leading up to and throughout the making of the album - and Al Steele's cryptic timeline descriptors for each song. On the reverse side are the lyrics (quite a read!) and all the musician/vocalist credits.

As this is a CD size poster it is by nature smaller than it's vinyl counterpart. The full size version is available for those that 'Got Ta Have It!'

CD2
This one contains a digital version of the vinyl mixes, so gives you the full retro dynamics. The album length here comes in around 49 mins - so gives us around 20 mins to give you more goodies!

This includes some alternative versions and surprises (maybe even to us!) only available here.

A 2nd poster accompanies this Deluxe CD. This contains all the info on how the vinyl mixes were achieved and the sort of decisions that were made to make this sound special.

There is a section on the history of the making of the album and the lowdown on the extra tracks. There are also LOT'S of extra pics!

Well it's even cooler now, so if you haven't got a record deck NOW is the chance to pop out and get one and be DOWN with the kids!
For more details see the individual vinyl listing

DELUXE DOUBLE CD
Here is the best of both worlds - vinyl doesn't work as well in the car(!) so as well as the regular CD master we have the lovingly mastered retro vinyl version - but in digital form. As we have some space left on Disc 2 we are including some alternative mixes and a few versions not available anywhere else.
For more details see the individual Deluxe Double CD listing

2 FULL SIZE POSTERS
We can't fit big posters in a CD case, so if you wanted to keep the posters intact with your vinyl we have included a spare pair! Blu-tak them to your wall - or the window of your car - or do what we do and just leave them lying around on the kitchen table - always handy!
