Title: THE SCOTTISH AFFAIR (PART 2)
Format: Vinyl LP / Digital Download

Released: November 2019
Crépuscule presents The Scottish Affair (Part 2), a vibrant live album by iconic Scottish guitar group Josef K recorded at the historic Beursschouwburg arts centre in Brussels on 8th April 1981.
Best known for their association with Postcard Records, Josef K also recorded two singles for Belgian indie Les Disques du Crepuscule (Sorry For Laughing; The Missionary), and also taped studio album The Only Fun In Town in downtown Brussels. The group first performed in the city on New Year's Eve 1980, playing a riotous show with Orange Juice and Marine at legendary warehouse venue Plan K, and resumed their 'Scottish affair' with Crepuscule the following April, cutting their album in a matter of days and performing at the Beursschouwburg as well as a small youth club in Lier three nights later.
At the Beurs show Jokay rattled off 10 songs in just half an hour, with journalist Bert Bertrand noting "several good reasons to get excited" about the visiting quartet. Adds guitarist Malcolm Ross: "We played four dates in Holland on our way to Brussels and then recorded the album in about five days. So we were pretty tight and Paul was in good voice."
Recorded from the mixing desk, all 10 songs have now been newly re-mastered for issue as a vinyl only album, The Scottish Affair (Part 2). Pressed in a limited edition of 1000 copies in clear vinyl, the sleeve features original 1981 poster artwork by designer Jean-Francois Octave printed in black overlaid with metallic gold pantone. The inner bag includes period flyers and images, as well as quotes by Paul Haig, Malcolm Ross, Alan Horne, Michel Duval, Annik Honore, Allan Campbell and Bert Bertrand.

Format: 2 X LP or CD
Cat No: TWI 052 / TWI 052 CD
Released: May 2014
Crépuscule
presents a brand new remastered edition of The Only Fun In Town, the
influential debut album by iconic Scottish guitar group Josef K, originally
released on Postcard Records in July 1981. Crépuscule itself
issued two singles by the band at the time: Sorry For Laughing, and
The Missionary.
The Only
Fun In Town (Deluxe)
This
new 2014 remaster is available in two formats. The double vinyl album
(TWI 052) arrives housed in a handsome gatefold sleeve (with an art
print insert), and by way of bonus tracks also features several Postcard
single A and B sides including Radio Drill Time and Chance Meeting.
Side 4 features all four tracks from JoKay's celebrated John Peel
Session in June 1981, including Heaven Sent and The Missionary.
The CD version (TWI 052 CD) is packaged in a handsome trifold digipack
with 12 page booklet, and by way of a bonus also features all 12 tracks
from Sorry For Laughing, Josef K's shelved debut album recorded at
Castle Sound (Edinburgh) in November 1980, and apparently abandoned
because it was thought to sound too polished.
