For those that know, Klark Kent was the side project of Stewart Copeland of The Police. A particular song, “Don’t Care” did not fit The Police, and so Stewart, not wanting to let the song go on to oblivion, recorded it to release via the I.R.S. label owned by his brother, Miles Copeland. The song performed well on the charts. The self-titled album was denied by Stewart Copeland thus shrouding it in a bit of secrecy. Eventually, he admitted his involvement and the rest is history.
On November 17, BMG will reissue the 1980 Klark Kent in a Deluxe Edition of the short EP that will add in a collection of extra tracks (found in 1995’s Kollected Works set), and a handful of 12 demos to join with the remastered original EP. The cover has been reworked for this reissue.
Klark Kent will be issued on 2CD, DD, and 2LP vinyl sets.
