Kooky re-releases update

Phil Kooky at Kooky Records has some good news about the forthcoming renewed availability of A Paean To Wilson and Vini Reilly which have been out of print for some.

The albums will be re-released in jewel cases as the original digi-packs have sold out. This will make them a lot cheaper. More news when we have it but these albums will go on sale via the Kooky Shop and also via this site.
