Description
Limited edition 3-CD box-set with embossed foil-print, full-colour printed card inner sleeves and liner notes.
During his time with The Waxing Captors, Jack Rundell wrote and recorded over one hundred songs for himself, using borrowed instruments, second hand 4-track recorders and broken microphones. The results ranged from distortion-drenched Americana to cryptic narratives, constructed using text-to-speech freeware. Most of these songs were never circulated beyond his small, but enthusiastic, local fanbase.
Jack’s debut album, Home Recordings 2005-2015, is an absurdly elaborate affair, boasting a colossal 73 tracks compiled by super-fan and antigen records director Jason Whittaker from a bewildering array of self-released CDRs, downloads from long-defunct websites and unreleased oddities.
The compilation includes:
The Snicks on My Mulligan EP (2005)
Hopes for Vulture EP (2006)
Jack Rundell is… The Smallest Kid in School album (2007)
I Tear My Hair Out (When You Walk By) EP (2008)
You Treat Me Like a Businessman album (2010)
Bitter in Love album (2013)
What Socialism Did (for Rock and Roll) album (2014)
Plus selections from Difficult Listening Hour EP (2014), the Best of 2005-2009 (compilation album 2009) and 10 previously unreleased recordings made between 2005 and 2015.
Every effort has been made to remove extraneous noise to maximise your listening pleasure. However, some tracks contain tape hiss, distortion and miscellaneous environmental sounds where removing this noise would have damaged the integrity of the recording.
