Cover of Love Lives Forever (BBC Sessions 2003-2011) by Daniel Johnston.

Daniel Johnston

Love Lives Forever (BBC Sessions 2003-2011)

Trussed Recordings

Daniel Johnston’s legacy is legendary. The quintessential DIY artist started his career in Austin, TX whilst hawking cassettes from his day job at McDonald’s. The rest, as they say, is history and fans of US alternative music from the 1980s onwards know about his work and the people he went on to inspire.

This is a project inspired by BBC Radio 6 Music’s Marc Riley and the tracks have been licensed from the BBC and approved by Daniel’s family, management and charity. The sessions were spread across an eight-year period with two sessions for Rob Da Bank and three with Marc Riley (both of whom are executive producers of this album).

A few bootleg recordings of these sessions have been available across the years but now they have been lovingly mastered and cut by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios in London. Daniel was a lifelong fan of The Beatles and the overwhelming consensus from those who knew him was that he would be so proud and excited to have his music mastered above the legendary Studio 2 at Abbey Road. This project’s objective is to celebrate Daniel’s musical legacy, rather than explore further his well-documented mental health problems. However, profits from the album will go to Daniel’s Hi, How Are You Project based in Austin.

Cover of Yip Jump Music - 2024 Reissue by Daniel Johnston.

Yip Jump Music - 2024 Reissue

Feraltone

Daniel Johnston had previously written hundreds of songs but "Yip Jump Music" marked his first deliberate album. The foreboding circumstance and crude tools proved to be a test of Daniel's expressive resource. Over the tape hiss his voice could be heard – sometimes alone – or using a see-and-say toy, a chord organ, or an out-of-tune ukulele. It became an example of soul-baring heartfelt music-making that accomplished musicians and celebrities would later love. Kurt Cobain listed "Yip Jump Music" as #35 of his top 50 albums. Digitally re-mastered, with new packaging, a fold out poster, lyrics sheet and drawing.

Alive In New York City

Joyful Noise Recordings

Daniel Johnston’s ‘Alive in New York City’: A full performance captured before a live audience in New York City, the city of Daniel Johnston’s dreams. Daniel is at the height of his performing powers, with his solo voice in full poignant bloom. A real time-capsule, each song is a gem rendered in full color by an artist dedicated to his craft. This LP captures him at an unusually happy point in his life, sharing the deepest parts of himself with his audience. We are given a rare glimpse into Daniel’s heart, where the physical rendering he gives over to his lyrics transcends the music and works as a beacon into the tender mind of a genius - grappling with how to love himself and find his place in the world. This 2000 concert recorded and live-mixed by Kramer in NYC happened on a very special night and Shimmy-Disc is proud to present it to the world, along with 18 minutes of bonus material comprised of some of the rarest audio treasures from the Daniel Johnston Archives - a series of “Telephone Demos” created by Daniel specifically for sending to friends over his phone. These little teleplays from Daniel’s pre-”1990” days have never been heard before, so his fans will go wild with joy over this newly discovered and precious cargo from the mind of this one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable Artist.

Cover of Rejected Unknown - 2023 Reissue by Daniel Johnston.

Daniel Johnston

Rejected Unknown - 2023 Reissue

Eternal Yip Eye

Rejected Unknown is a 2001 album released by the acclaimed musician, Daniel Johnston. This is the first time the record has been pressed to vinyl in over 20 years. "The main themes on Rejected Unknown are the themes Johnston has explored throughout much of his career: hopeless longing, unrequited love, and as might be gathered from the album's title, fear of rejection. This fear probably took on very real terms for Johnston as he was finally dropped from Atlantic Records after being held for years in contractual limbo. Rejected Unknown is unmistakably Johnston's album; he sings and plays piano and guitar, and even adds some percussion to the oddly quirky pop songs."

Johnston is the musician's cult hero, whose music is appreciated for its undeniable simple brilliance. Here, he is allied here with musician / producer Jason Falkner (Beck, Air, Paul McCartney). "Is And Always Was" aims to take the rock and roll symphonies in Daniel's prolific musical brain and deliver fully realized and professionally produced recorded songs. Musicians include Daniel: guitar/piano, vox, Falkner: guitar, bass, keyboards, and Joey Waronker (REM, Beck, Smashing Pumpkins) on drums.
