An independent not-for-profit record label in the UK. Music deserving of wider attention. Reissued for the first time on vinyl in small batches. With love. Posts by Simon.

Yeah, I can believe that. There are few Ramones songs I truly care about (Rockaway Beach is one) but I always thought they’d be worth the entrance fee.

Definitely know this feeling. Sometimes it’s best to keep the memory of the performance than be disappointed by their recorded music.

Not a name I know but I will check them out!

Having had a look at their album artwork I wouldn’t have guessed the kind of music they play.

Ooh, that’s true. Although I did see Roland Rat live and he nailed it.

Somehow I’ve never seen Spoon live but I am a fan of their records.

The Oh Sees are a band I think only works live. I wonder if King Gizzard are the same? Not seen them myself, but the studio work doesn’t quite grab me. I suspect on stage is the place they’d click for me.

The opposite I have is Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Loved their studio work and yet quite possibly the most boring live band I’ve ever seen.
January 12, 2026 at 9:56 AM
Yep. That fury doesn’t translate as well in the studio.
January 12, 2026 at 9:52 AM
Only one way to find out, though 😂
January 12, 2026 at 9:52 AM
For me it’s Fat White Family. The studio work is strong but it doesn’t ever come close to their maniacal live performances.

I think I’d add Sufjan Stevens here too. And while his recorded work is phenomenal his live performances are like a carnival.
January 12, 2026 at 9:29 AM
Oh yeah, although I don’t mind their studio stuff they definitely are one of the best live bands I’ve seen.

His Just Eat years were his best.

I see you’re bought a dining table, would you like some vinyl records?

Surprised they haven’t combined the two!

Team lazy too. The thing is, the last track is amazing so I’d want to turn it over. It fits nicely on three sides, which is why I asked. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me awake at night!
January 10, 2026 at 9:09 PM
There’s nothing that I know of just yet, but I reckon there will alternate mixes - a very well-known producer is a good friend of the artist and so surely something exists.

I’d prefer four sides myself, but always worth asking others!

It doesn’t feel right to me but also I wanted to see what others thought. Thanks for letting me know.

Etched with music and nothing else. Agreed.
January 10, 2026 at 6:11 PM
Yeah, I don’t like etching and good to know it can warp. I’m sure I can find a live track to boost the playing time, or something like that.
January 10, 2026 at 6:07 PM
My personal take is I don’t want to get up and turn over for one song *but* an etching feels a bit of a waste.

I will be trying to find an extra unreleased track or live track if I can, then it’ll be four sides and worth getting up and turning over, but not sure anything exists.
