On-site description (minus tracklistings):
A new piece of work produced this week, a new painting. The fifth in an occasional series of paintings in 43 parts. One piece of work in 43 pieces, 43 paintings on cardboard CD envelopes. The first 43 piece came out in 2019, this is the fifth, always the same format, pop art, mass production, 43 paintings on cardboard CD envelopes always painted together as one piece of work, always released in 43 parts, and all very very very much about the painting, very much about the art on the front and the here and now and the floating anarchy but always with a touch of something left over from my past and the days of ORG Records and the days of the printed version of Organ.
This fifth piece, this fifth edition if you will, this fifth piece of work comes with two CDs in each of the hand painted envelopes, one a 19 track CD and one an 18 track CD compilation, both from the end of the last century, both professionally compiled and pressed. Both discs excess copies left over and both way too good to be heaved in the recycle bin or painted on. Musical treasure from the corner of the studio where they’ve been buried under paintings and old zines and gig posters and such for the last twenty years. Each painting is numbered, each one signed on the back, each one is a hand painted piece, acrylic and gloss varnish and all 43 paintings on sale
ORGAN RADIO 8 was originally released in 1999 as a cover mount and and a sampler for ORG Records , and if you ask me most of it still sounds damn good, still love that Rhatigan album and the way she made songs and sounds, still insist Charlie’s Angels were pop art perfection in a punk rock way and well, you never were going to nail down was Organ or the label was about. here you go. ORG Records is mostly what I was doing at the end of the last century, painting time I’ll never get back you might say.
The Organ Radio 10 compilation CD originally came out in the year 2000, it featured a combination of bands who were either being featured on the pages of Organ and playing our gigs at the time, or indeed were releasing material on our then offshoot time-eating record label ORG. We always thought Organ presented a healthy refection of what was going on musically at the time and in the year 2000 in was a combination of alt.punk bands in transit vans, D.I.Y metalcore outfits (mostly from Southend), art rock, home made pop and the last taboo that was prog. This CD originally came out as a cover mounted sampler, if I remember rightly 2000 were pressed of which we have a very small number still sitting in the corner of my messy painting studio here
