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.
