King Creosote - KC Rules OK (2025 Remaster; Deluxe Version) (2025) [Official Digital Download]

20th Anniversary: To celebrate two decades since its initial release, King Creosote's landmark album, 'KC Rules OK,' will be reissued on September 26th, 2025.

Originally released in the UK on September 19th, 2005, 'KC Rules OK' quickly became a fan favourite, solidifying King Creosote (aka Kenny Anderson) as a unique voice in British indie folk. The album spawned several notable singles, including "Bootprints," "Favourite Girl," and "678," all of which showcased Anderson's distinctive songwriting.

The deluxe album pulls together a collection of B sides, songs and remixes, many from the fabled Chorlton And the Wh’Earlies unreleased promo CD including four songs that are completely commercially unreleased and are currently unavailable digitally..

KC Rules OK was King Creosote’s debut album for warner Music, and in December 2009, ranked #6 in The Skinny's "Scottish Albums of the Decade" poll.

Regarding the 20th anniversary reissue Anderson says:

“I’ve reached a point in life where nearly everything good is in the rear view mirror. When in spring 2005 the Earlies adopted king creosote to record a 4 track EP for ‘Names On Records’, the brief outlined a look back on a decade’s worth of unreleased homespun recordings, dig up a few gems worthy of polishing. Two heavily flawed diamonds - ‘Marguerita Red’ and ‘Bootprints’ - were buried deepest below several failed bands and a 2:1 in late 80s Electrical Engineering. Tom Knott at Airtight Studios fast introduced me to digital recording, and in the space of a fortnight, 4 songs quickly became 16, a bewildering work rate compared to my previous experiences with quarter inch tape. Other than the machine driven ‘teek-tok-tok-tok’ for a metronome, everything was to be played on real instruments by Lancastrian red rosy hands, directed by Christian Madden’s unerring ability to not only settle on a good idea, but to land on the right idea first time, every time. Despite our 4 song budget netting 16 completed songs, our just desserts looked awfully small and still a long, long way Off. 20 years on, with my binoculars the right way round, I can properly see (and hear) every detail in the record we made, a timeless album grown so old already that in a few months it might just sound like the future Again.”
