After Larry Weinstein heard the 1985 tribute album Lost In The Stars – The Music of Kurt Weill, he was inspired to film the follow-up, September Songs – The Music of Kurt Weill.
This 94-minute music video was recorded in an abandoned warehouse in Toronto where musicians performed a series of songs by Kurt Weill. The lineup included Lou Reed, Nick
Cave, PJ Harvey, Elvis Costello, Charlie Haden, Betty Carter, and David Johansen amongst others. September Songs was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding
Cultural Program and won five Gemini Awards.

September Songs – The Music of Kurt Weill is available on vinyl for the first time as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent blue coloured vinyl and includes an insert with lyrics.
