Release dates are subject to alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the huge success of ‘King Rocker’, spotlighting The Nightingales as one of the best band’s in Britain, came the soundtrack and DVD to one of 2021’s break-out films. Comedian Stewart Lee and director Michael Cumming (Brass Eye, Toast Of London) investigate a missing piece of punk history. Robert Lloyd, best known for fronting cult Birmingham bands The Prefects and The Nightingales, has survived under the radar for over four decades. But how, if at all, does Robert want to be remembered? The anti-rockumentary ‘King Rocker’ weaves the story of Birmingham’s undervalued underdog autodidact into that of the city’s forgotten public sculpture of King Kong, eschewing the celebrity interview and archive-raid approach for a free-associating bricolage of Indian food, bewildered chefs, vegetable gardening, prescription medicines, pop stardom and pop art. All of the highlights from the film are here, along with rarities which won’t appear on any of the deluxe reissues of the Nightingales’ catalogue, among them 7″ versions of “Use Your Loaf”, the Bob Luman hit “Let’s Think About Living” and “Black Country”, a glam remix of crowd favourite “Thick And Thin” and a version of Christy \u0026amp; Emily’s “Ghost” which rivals the Nightingales’ take on TLC’s “Unpretty” for sheer beauty. The only act with roots in the punk era that have gone on to make records more captivating, cutting and entertaining today than at any point in their past; 2022 will be a busy year for the Nightingales, with months of live dates planned, a limited edition remix 12″, deluxe reissues of both ‘Hysterics’ and ‘In The Good Old Country Way’, and a hardcover book collecting Robert’s lyrics. “An inspiring comeback story that feels profoundly necessary” The Quietus. “Lee tells Lloyd’s story with skill, passion and verve” The Times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Use Your Loaf (7” Version) \u003cbr\u003e\nA2 Surplus And Scarcity (Live) \u003cbr\u003e\nA3 What A Carry On \u003cbr\u003e\nA4 Let's Think About Living (7” Version) \u003cbr\u003e\nA5 Black Country (7” Version) \u003cbr\u003e\nA6 Ghost \u003cbr\u003e\nB1 Born Again In Birmingham \u003cbr\u003e\nB2 Overreactor \u003cbr\u003e\nB3 Thick And Thin (Glam Version) \u003cbr\u003e\nB4 Chaff \u003cbr\u003e\nB5 The Desperate Quartet \u003cbr\u003e\nB6 Gales Doc\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57142187524471,"sku":"KROCK001LPB","price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/0956\/1910\/files\/Nightingales-King-Rocker-Soundtrack-LP.jpg?v=1780420867","url":"https:\/\/thejazzvault.com\/products\/the-nightingales-king-rocker-soundtrack-black-vinyl-vinyl-lp-pre-order","provider":"The Jazz Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
