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","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51577919209767,"sku":"673855058924","price":21.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/3876695-2630640.jpg?v=1783285465","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/mike-krol-mike-krol-is-never-dead-the-first-two-records-cd","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
