repressed with bonus 7". in 1970, mayo thompson (once-and-future leader of the red krayola) recorded an album entitled 'corky's debt to his father'. walt andrus' texas revolution label released the record - but just barely, selling a few hundred lps with no promotion to speak of. the copies that made it into shops became the treasured objects of taste-makers around the globe - which made 'corky's debt to his father' an influential record down the years. as punk rock, new wave, post-punk and all the rest came along, it was inevitable that this lost classic of independent music would be discovered by a wider audience. in 1988, the album was reissued on the uk glass records imprint but went out of print again in short order. then in 1994, drag city brought 'corky's debt to his father' back to the usa, as well as to the cd format for the first time. additionally, a third pressing of the vinyl was made. the cd has been a perennial favourite ever since - but after just a few months of robust sales, the lp artwork and jackets were destroyed in a fire, thus putting the end to the life of 'corky's debt to his father' on vinyl once again. a fast fourteen years later, it's drag city's pleasure to bring this classic of two-sided entertainment back to the table (the turntable, that is) with a special limited-edition pressing of 'corky's debt to his father'. wrapped in a jacket that recalls the halcyon days of solid lp dominance, this new pressing comes with a 7" single featuring the instrumental 'woof,' which was recorded at the same sessions but not released until the red krayola's 2004 compilation cd singles. the b-side of this single is a never-before heard take on john cage's '4:33' played by fellow traveller sergei mcugly.
