Kid Koala Scratchappyland (Deadstock) 10"

LAB REVIEW

Deadstock office find! Official 2000 repress of Kid Koala's legendary Scratchappyland. Ninja Tune originally released this 10" back in 1997 after signing Kid Koala. It's made up of excerpts from his Scratchcratchratchatch mix tape which introduced the world to the Canadian DJ's idiosyncratic style. The heads at Ninja Tune distilled that tape down to the most tasty morsels they could fit on 10". I don't think I've heard anything quite like it since, except maybe something from Koala himself. Heavy skills on display. Recommended.
