The Chesterfield Kings Break Open Their Vault For ‘Loose Ends: 1989-2004’ Capturing Rare, B-Sides & Unreleased Tracks

Classic Garage Rock band The Chesterfield Kings have returned with Loose Ends: 1989–2004 Rare, B-Sides & Unreleased, out now via Wicked Cool Records. This anthology opens the vault to deliver rarities, forgotten gems, and unreleased recordings spanning very active years for the band. The single “Rosy Won’t You Please Come Home” is out now.

Many of these songs were previously scattered across hard-to-find vinyl and CD pressings, but are here digitally remastered and compiled. Also on the collection is one previously unreleased track: the band’s never-before-heard version of “White Christmas.”

As frontman Andy Babiuk explains:

We did a lot of obscure recordings that came out on vinyl and CDs on various labels but very few were ever printed. For the first time we’ve compiled all of these recordings and we’re glad that they are finally coming out digitally remastered for everyone to check out. One unreleased track we found is a recording of the classic ‘White Christmas’ that we were asked to record for the film Christmas With The Kranks. They used the song Hey Santa Claus’ that we wrote for the movie, but not ‘White Christmas’, so this is the first time that this never released Chesterfield Kings’ version of the Christmas classic can be heard!”

Featuring covers of The Kinks, The Lyres, and others, Loose Ends captures the energy and spirit of The Chesterfield Kings.
