about

We are delighted to announce that Happy People Records are issuing these two sensational (and now much sort after) albums;

- The Co-operators & friends - Rhythms from The Kitchen Sink
- The Co-operators & friends - Beating The Doldrums

The original pressings of these albums (on producer Eeyun Purkins own label - Waggle Dance Records) both sold out before their release! They are leading examples of the new wave of UK roots reggae, dub and ska, that connects vital social commentary with world class songwriting and production and superbly showcases the multi-talented and multi-layered Bristol collective of musicians and singers that includes; Joe Yorke, Kitma, Beanie, Perkie and producer Eeyun Purkins.

This Happy People issue of their debut album 'Rhythms from the Kitchen Sink' is set to feature an exclusive track - the previously unreleased version of Horace Andy’s 'Skylarking' ft. Perkie on vocals (not on the original Waggle Dance Records pressing). The LP also includes the hugely in-demand Joe Yorke singles 'Tonight' and 'Judgement Tree’.

While their second album - ‘Beating the Doldrums’ features the hugely in-demand singles from Joe Yorke (Gentrification and War on the Night Bus) and Perkie’s 'Concrete Steel & Stone'.

The first 150 numbered copies of both LP albums come as a double set. They are pressed on an exclusive militant green coloured vinyl and come with Issue 1 of their own magazine ‘The Serious Times’, which includes lyrics, artist profiles and more! The zine is only available with this double set!

The albums are also available to order individually with 350 numbered LPs being pressed of each album on black ltd. edition black vinyl.
