I would have wished for a less traumatic birth for the two latest Pink Dotted reissues, but hopefully they will prompt a smile or two at this deeply troubled time. After being briefly available as a limited 2xCDR, “Kleine Krieg” is now being properly pressed as a double CD by the excellent Klanggalerie label in Austria. Featuring some of the Dots’ earliest creations, It has been painstakingly remastered and repackaged for this edition.

Likewise, Klanggalerie have also given the Edward Ka-Spel solo collection, “An Abandoned Laboratory Volume 3” a dedicated release on cd with a new cover and a bonus track.

Both are offered in the “merch” section at our mail- order site at www.legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com and we hope to send orders at the end of April (if the Global crisis has eased down).

The pair are also available directly from Klanggalerie – for “Kleine Krieg”, go to:http://klanggalerie.com/gg321 ;

for “Abandoned Laboratory”: http://klanggalerie.com/gg320

The label is also offering a discount when the 2 releases are purchased together (http://klanggalerie.com/gg320-1).

It feels a little strange to promote our wares at this moment, but it makes complete sense to shout this message to a wounded planet….BE WELL, WE WILL BEAT THIS THING. Love and light……..

A day at home and probably something to become used to for a considerable time. Nothing could have prepared us for the scenario we now find ourselves in, but all I’ll say right now to all who read this is. “Stay well..” We’ll make it….
All pieces presented here were recorded on March 20 2020. More days like this will surely come along so keep your eyes peeled… With love…EK

A note from Edward:

I’d like to make an apology to all who ordered “40 Angels- The Archive DVD” shortly before the tour. They are still coming but I really want to hold off sending until at least the wild and unpredictable Global situation has stabilised a little. I also have to find a printer for the handmade covers . Just hang in there…I promise no disappointment!

The final piece of the jigsaw is at last in place for our forthcoming tour. On 25th February The Dots will appear at La Bulle Cafe in Lille! We’re looking forward to this one.
