The Organization of Pop / US ZTT compilation out next month

ZTT records will release a new compilation The Organization of Pop: Music From The First Thirty Years of ZTT Records in the US on 15 October 2013, via Stateside partners Razor & Tie.

The track listing for the two CD set – first revealed by our friends at Slicing Up Eyeballs – is made up largely of previously released mixes with just three unheard variants included.

Any UK fans who might be disappointed with this release, should note that Salvo Records (who issue ZTT product in the UK) have confirmed that both artwork and track listings for this compilation will differ ‘significantly’ when its released here in early 2014.

A two-CD Deluxe Edition of the 2012 compilation Frankie Said and a third volume of the popular Art Of The 12-inch series are also expected early next year, to kick of the 30th Anniversary celebrations here in the UK.
