Record Labels # 3 - Ork Records

Here's an interesting one. Set up and run by Television manager and CBGB face Terry Ork. Very little documented.

 

1. Television - Little Johnny Jewel

 

 

The reason the label came into being. Television's debut. Still sounds like nothing else.

 

2. Richard Hell & the Voidoids - You Gotta Lose

 

 

Off the Another world EP.  Another World is an overlong indulgence. This is better.

 

 

3. Mike Farren - Play With Fire

 

 

 

This man and this picture seem to be popping up all over this blog. Not a classic. But an oddity.

 

4. Chris Stamey - The Summer Sun

 

 

Future db songwriter. Made in 1977 with Alex Chilton who produced. The two played all the instruments. Excellent. Like The Beatles or The Kinks melting.

 

5. The Idols - You

 

 

Featuring ex-New York Dolls Jerry Nolan and Arthur 'Killer' Kane.

 

6. The Revelons - The Way (You Touch My Hand)

 

 

CBGB's house band.
