Another busy month for the label with the following releases and additions to the site.

 

NEW RELEASES:

 

THE PIGS ALBUM

 

Originally released in 1977 via New Bristol Records, the very rare ‘Youthanasia’ep.

 

 Plus ‘1977’ the album of the complete demos from the session at Sound Conception which produced the above mentioned release. These recordings have previously been unavailable….

 

We were the Pigs, a garage band that got lucky – but not that lucky. We formed in March 1977 and we disbanded in March 1978. In those twelve months we hit a few high notes and we hit a few bum notes.

High note: first rehearsal, first garage, Henbury.

Ricky was a guitar player, so he plays drums. Kit was a bass player, so he plays guitar. Nigel has never touched an instrument before, so he plays bass. Eamonn is the front man. He has the best shades.

High note: second gig, 23rd June at the Progress.

From now on, we have Vernon and John on board as management. We’re seventeen/eighteen and we’ve played two gigs – we definitely need management. We’ve moved on to our second garage, at Rick’s.

High note: third gig, Exhibition Centre, the very next night.

The previous day, the Stranglers were involved in a punk wars incident in Cleethorpes. Now they have to cancel tonight’s gig, probably the biggest punk gig Bristol has seen so far. Support act the Cortinas will have to fill the Stranglers’ shoes……….. ( The full story can be found at www.bristolarchiverecords.com)

 

ESSENTIAL BOP

The ‘Eloquent Sounds ep – remastered by Steve Street.

 

THE ROYAL ASSASSINS ALBUM

Previously unavailable recordings from Chris Scott. An amazing piece of work…..

‘Recorded in ’82/’83, and never before released, ‘Flux’ is not, strictly speaking, a Royal Assassins recording. It is, in fact the blueprint from which the Royal Assassins was fashioned. Recorded and produced mainly by Chris Scott in his home 4 track studio, with the collaboration of Dave Hares and Sean Henneberry and featuring guests such as the late lamented Sax maestro Jerry Underwood, this collection sets out to establish the sound and feel of Scott’s particular vision of rock music at the time…………..
