Reissue van album van Daniel Johnston en Jad Fair

Op 10 april wordt 'It's Spooky' in limited edition terug uitgebracht.

Het album van Jad Fair en Daniel Johnston, dat oorspronkelijk in 1989 op de markt kwam, werd geremasterd door Kramer en verschijnt in vijftienhonderd exemplaren met een extra flexi-disc.

Jad Fair herinnert het zich als volgt: "I first heard Daniel in 1985. Half Japanese had a show in Austin and Daniel's manager Jeff Tartakov gave me a tape of 'Hi How Are You?'. I loved it and began corresponding with Jeff and Daniel.”

“A few years later I was in NYC to take part in a recording session of Moe Tucker's at Kramer's studio Noise New York. Daniel was at the studio, and he and I became friends. Daniel recorded two songs with lyrics I wrote. He recorded Do It Right for Moe's album, and Some Things Last A Long Time for his album, '1990'.”

“Soon after his time in NYC, I invited him to my home and we had a week to record the songs for 'It's Spooky'. Daniel and I recorded and mixed the album in seven days time. I consider Daniel to be a genius. I've never met anyone else like him. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. I'm very happy to have it released again and it's sounding better than ever thanks to an amazing mastering job by Kramer."
