Kelley Stoltz's Echo & The Bunnymen salute gets deluxe vinyl treatment


Here's the scoop from Kelley Stoltz...

This Saturday (August 29) is record store day and for the first time I'll have something in the shops! My version of Echo & the Bunnymen's "Crocodiles" which I recorded in 2001, will finally be available on LP… brought to you by the good folks at Nine x Nine Records in Liverpool 

"Kelley Stoltz’s track for track covers album of Echo and the Bunnymen’s Crocodiles is available for the first time on vinyl this Record Store Day via Nine x Nixe Records. Originally recorded in 2001, the album was only available on CD. Stoltz took up the mantle of rhythm guitar in the Bunnymen in 2016, largely because of this album. Pressed on 180 gram colour vinyl, with original artwork and new sleeve notes from Bunnymen guitarist Will Sergeant and Scott Kannberg (Pavement), there’s never been a better time to discover this gem from Stoltz’s back catalogue. Remastered by Mikey Young. Bonus 7” E.P. features 3 early demos of 14 year old Kelley’s band "Distorted Reality". These are the earliest known recordings of Stoltz’s Bunnymen covers. This EP is exclusive to the RSD release and will not be available with any subsequent reissue."
