Few knew at the time that Turkey was actually Chapter 3 of the Krol saga, and that he had self-released two records years earlier. To the delight of his new legion of fans, Merge reissued those early albums as the 2017 collection Mike Krol Is Never Dead: The First Two Records. With that release, I Hate Jazz and Trust Fund found new life, and the inclusion of digital-only rarities led to fresh demand for a complete release of Mike Krol Is Never Dead on CD, out January 29, 2021. Self-released on LP in 2011, I Hate Jazz was the opening salvo of World War Krol. Only 500 copies were pressed; they were given away to anyone who showed interest (and many who showed none whatsoever). Including Krol classics like \"Fifteen Minutes\" and \"Like a Star, \" the record had long been unavailable. Trust Fund followed in 2013; it's 500 LPs sold out on the ensuing tour, fueling a mini-mania that would elevate it to cult status.  The 3-CD edition of Mike Krol Is Never Dead includes the first two albums housed in miniature-sized reproductions of the original album tri-fold wallets, and an additional disc filled with an illuminating selection of outtakes, demos, and B-sides from that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 1 - Plague\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 2 - Cease and Desist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 3 - Modern Furniture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 4 - Locker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 5 - Teeth Grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 6 - Straaange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 7 - California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 8 - Fourth of July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 9 - Keith Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 10 - [Untitled]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 1 - Natural Disaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 2 - Like a Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 3 - Fifteen Minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 4 - Heart Attack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 5 - Seventeen (Age)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 6 - Grade School Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 7 - Red Minivan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 8 - A Million Times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 1 - Drum Test\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 2 - Kelly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 3 - Stacey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 4 - Snow Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 5 - Natural Disaster (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 6 - Like a Star (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 7 - Fifteen Minutes (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 8 - Heart Attack (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 9 - Grade School Love (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 10 - A Million Times (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 11 - Fifteen Minutes Instrumental Reprise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 12 - My Country Tis of Thee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 13 - The Tempo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 14 - Plague (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 15 - Modern Furniture (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 16 - Locker (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 17 - Teeth Grinder (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 18 - Straaange (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 19 - I Got You (Chelsea)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 20 - [Untitled Track of Terre T Reviewing I Hate Jazz on Wfmu]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mike Krol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362439774436,"sku":"MRG589.2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/3876695-2630640.jpg?v=1766538834","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/mike-krol-is-never-dead-the-first-two-records-mike-krol-cd","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
