Kurt Baker’s “Got It Covered” On Remastered & Reissued EP

Kurt Baker and Oglio Entertainment have brought a cult favorite back to life. Originally released in 2010 as the explosive introduction to Baker’s solo career, Got It Covered has finally received its long-awaited vinyl debut, newly remastered for both vinyl and digital platforms. Produced by Linus of Hollywood and featuring guest appearances from Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo) and drummer Adam Marcello, Got It Covered captures Baker channeling the spirit of late-’70s and early-’80s new wave, punk, and power pop through seven adrenaline-charged covers from artists like Blondie, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, The Knack, Nick Lowe, and The Vapors. Fully remastered specifically for analog release, the new edition brings added warmth, clarity, and punch to a record that already felt tailor-made for the format. From the frantic hooks of Hanging on the Telephone to the razor-sharp melodies of Cruel To Be Kind and Pump It Up, Got It Covered serves as both a celebration of Baker’s influences and a showcase for the sound that would define his solo catalog for years to come.

“Hey everyone, I’m beyond excited to finally share this with you. For the very first time ever, ‘Got It Covered’ is coming out on VINYL! This record means a lot to me, it’s my first release, and it’s a tribute to the songs and artists that helped shape my sound from day one. ‘Got It Covered’ is a collection of covers of classic power pop songs, the stuff that made me fall in love with melody, hooks, jangly guitars, and timeless songwriting. Getting to put my own spin on these tracks was how I found my voice early on, and that spirit is all over this record. This re-issue is something special. We’ve given it a brand new master for vinyl, handled by Justin Perkins at Mystery Room Mastering, so it sounds bigger, warmer, and better than ever on a turntable. It also features all-new artwork, giving it a fresh look while staying true to the original vibe. Same great power pop essentials, done the KB way, celebrating the classics while cranking up the energy. And to make it even more special, the first 90 copies are personally signed by me, so if you want one of those, don’t wait! Thanks so much for sticking with me over the years. I can’t wait for you to hear (and spin) this one the way it was meant to be heard.” (Kurt Baker)
