Vinyl Find: Klark Kent (aka Stewart Copeland) 7″

This is the original Klark Kent 7″ released on green vinyl from Kryptone Records in 1978 with “Don’t Care” on the A-side and “Thrills” and “Office Girls” on the b-side. I got hooked on this just after hearing the stellar I.R.S. Greatest Hits Vol. 2 & 3, which included versions of the latter two songs. “Don’t Care” is an okay song, but in my opinion, “Office Girls” and “Thrills” are two of the better songs Stewart Copeland ever wrote, up there with “On Any Other Day” and “Fall Out.” Also interesting since it is Stewart playing all the music, so that quirkiness of style is ever present. The music has great energy and still has some of the punk influence (it was released the same year as Outlandos d’Amour). Here’s a live version of “Don’t Care” with Stewart backed up by a few guys you may recognize in the monkey masks.
