THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS’ CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2023

Available as a digital download- It’s Bandcamp Friday and the first day of December. In reality the end of a truly brutal year, but hopefully this offering will be a gentle reminder that there is always hope.

Festive IV

Available as a lovingly home made CDR release featuring the Christmas Specials for 2022 & 2023 plus Hallowe’en 2023. Each copy individually prepared. Artwork by Edward Ka-Spel. Copies will begin shipping immediately after Christmas in order to avoid the chaotic seasonal mail. Limited edition of 99.  Find it HERE.

… And three more long available titles from the Edward Ka-Spel solo catalogue present on The Legendary Pink Dots’ Bandcamp page are now also available on Edward’s Bandcamp page in the continuing mission to bring all EK releases under one roof.

With the CD-R edition of “Festive 3” close to selling out, it feels like the right moment to post this collection as a downloadable release as it had previously only been available in ‘parts’ which are long withdrawn from sale. It’s free / ‘name your price’.

A new Edward Ka-Spel album

I’ve been keeping the news a little quiet, but today sees the release of my new solo album, ‘Tease Seize….Apply’. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster ride through the ruins of a fairground for that’s the kind of year it’s been. Even so, today I feel like raising a glass. It’s due to appear on cd in December and there’s a longer term plan for a vinyl edition if I can bear the inevitable wait. —EK

10 days to Hallowe’en, so it feels like the appropriate moment:

Hard to believe it’s October on such a glorious sunny day with the temperature predicted to soar here in London. In the big picture it is profoundly disturbing for all the obvious reasons, but I’ll take comfort in a corner of the small screen this weekend and simply enjoy the weather.

Today is also Bandcamp Friday, where the platform generously allow artists to ply their wares without taking commission. In these harder times, it really helps! Two of my solo releases from last year are appearing in tangible form today – as lovingly handmade CD-R editions.  They are “Conspiracy of Pylons” and “100 Seconds to Midnight”.

Conspiracy of Pylons is available as a CD-R, limited edition of 99.  You can order from Edward’s Bandcamp or The Legendary Pink Dots’ Bandcamp.

100 Seconds to Midnight is available as a CD-R, limited edition of 99.  You can order from Edward’s Bandcamp or The Legendary Pink Dots’ Bandcamp.

The Byte Of Spring has been remastered and is available as a CD-R, limited edition of 99.  You can order from Edward’s Bandcamp.

Trapped In Amber has been reissued, available as a CD-R, limited edition of 99.  You can order from Edward’s Bandcamp.

…And a handful of the special Chemical Playschool 3/4 4 x CDR have just been posted.
