Release group by Jandek.

Newcastle Sunday is the 45th release by avant-folk/blues singer/songwriter Jandek, released by Corwood Industries. It is a recording of his second ever live performance, recorded at The Sage Gateshead, England.

After about a quarter-century of impenetrable reclusion, Jandek took to the road for some shows in 2004 and 2005. Newcastle Sunday is a double-CD commemoration of one of those, done in England on May 22, 2005.

Locked Up. Put It Up. Mangled and Dead. Shadow of the Clouds. MusicBrainz: Newcastle Sunday.

Only a handful of people claimed to have successfully contacted Jandek before he began regularly playing in public (see below).

О себе: Corwood Industries is the self-publishing label for the music project Jandek, of which little information is known. The label is run by a man named Sterling Richard Smith, who is also the man behind the Jandek project.

Since 1978, Jandek/Corwood Industries has independently released over 100 albums/DVDs of unusual, often emotionally dissolute folk and blues songs without ever granting more than the occasional interview or providing any biographical information.
