Plankton Records celebrate 40 years of existence with two November releases

40th Anniversary

BRITAIN'S long-running independent Christian label, Plankton Records, are releasing on 9th November two titles to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Said Plankton's Keith Dixon, "We are releasing a 20-track compilation album (CD with 12 page book and digital) called 'The Second Twenty Years' which, as the title suggests, features music from our last 20 years 1999 - 2018. We've sneaked in four tracks from before that period which for various reasons we couldn't feature on our 'First 20 Years' album - these include one previously unreleased track. Plankton's founding partner Simon Law has also recorded a brand new song which will close the album and will also be released as a single around 26th October.

"Also on 9th November we are releasing a special 2CD slipcase set (which will also be available digitally) called 'b.6th May 1978. FORTY YEARS 1978 - 2018' which will include the new CD plus the 21 track compilation we released in 1998 to mark our 20th anniversary called 'THE FIRST 20 YEARS'. The slipcase has the strap line 'Celebrating the history and musical journey of Plankton Records' and we think the 41 tracks included do just that. The cover art reflects our original vinyl side labels!" CR
