Last month, World Party mainman Karl Wallinger did a low-key round of radio station appearances and record shop in-stores in the U.S. to promote the release of Arkeology, his new five-disc box set featuring a stunning 70 unreleased tracks — including this 40-minute performance at Fingerprints in Long Beach, Calif., on Record Store Day.
Luckily for us, the Rare, Unavailable and Hard to Find blog captured the whole thing on video; check out the full seven-song performance via the playlist above. Full setlist below.
