Frank Booker Announces 'Collected Works' Launch Parties + Shares 'The Sun (2024 Remaster)'

Co-founder of club facilitators Music First ("Keep the music first") with fellow tune-spinner Samuel Harmony, Tāmaki Makaurau DJ / production maestro Frank Booker is opening up the vaults for the debut release from the just-announced Music First vinyl imprint. Featuring four out-of-print favourites from Booker's back catalogue, remastered by Downbeat Mastering for the limited 12" vinyl edition courtesy of Aotearoa's own Holiday Records, Booker is naturally enough putting on two parties to celebrate Collected Works — bringing the boogie at the super city's brand new Double Whammy and the capital's Meow in late August / early September. Immerse body and mind in the radiant grooves of lead track 'The Sun (2024 Remaster)', preorder your copy of Collected Works (out on 6th September) before they run out HERE, and get amongst on the dance floor till late...

"It gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of my EP Collected Works on our very own Music First vinyl imprint. I’ve gathered four of my most sought-after tunes that have been out of print for many years and had them remastered by Downbeat Mastering to give them a new punch for 2024. Manufactured with love & care right here in Aotearoa by Holiday Records with extra special sleeve inspired by Freddie Hubbard and reimagined by our main man, Jovan Milovic! Record released on 6th September. Stay tuned to Music First for more information very soon!" - Frank Booker

Press release:

Frank Booker Collected Works – a vinyl and digital EP that marks the first release for the Music First imprint. We had to mark the occasion the only way we know how with a special set of parties in Auckland and Wellington - with the man himself FRANK BOOKER - ALL NIGHT LONG.

We couldn't be more excited to launch our music label at a brand new space - Double Whammy (from the people who brought you Whammy!) The record is out on 6th of Sept - the records are available to pre-order now - it will be available on the night to purchase also.

Collected Works is not just a nostalgic journey through Booker’s impressive discography but also a testament to his enduring influence and passion for soulful music. Booker has selected four of his favourite previously released (but long-out-of-print) tunes to feature on the release. See you on the brand new dance floor on Sat 31 August!
