Kickstarter Launched to Re-Issue Ultimate Fakebook’s album ‘This Will Be Laughing Week’

After sitting dormant on the launchpad for two years, the Rocket Heart Records spaceship is ready to once again take flight. Since their last release, The Dead Girls‘ She Laughed a Little single, the label has been working to acquire the rights to Ultimate Fakebook‘s landmark piece of power pop, This Will Be Laughing Week.

That moment has arrived. After Rocket Heart‘s release of Ultimate Fakebook‘s debut full-length, Electric Kissing Parties, in 2010, fans have been clamoring for the power-pop trio’s powerful sophomore release. The much-beloved album has been out of print since 2000, when it was re-released by Sony/550 Records.

Presented on vinyl for the first time the cover will feature the art of the original Noisome Records release from 1999, but the music on the LP will be from the later Sony/550 release. In addition to the songs on the original release, the Sony version featured re-recorded versions of the Electric Kissing Parties‘ tracks Downstairs/Arena Rock and Far Far Away.

Rocket Heart Records‘ initial vinyl pressing of This Will Be Laughing Week will be 850 copies; with 500 on black, and 350 Coke bottle clear. In order to fund this pressing, as well as pay for the licensing rights, the goal for this Kickstarter campaign is $13,000. If funded, the record will be available in early Fall 2014.
