As 2009 comes to a close it’s that time when we review the years releases and thank some special people for their support.

Bristol Archive Records has gone from strength to strength since launch and the genuine enthusiasm from the bands never ceases to amaze us. Virtually without exception everyone has entered into the spirit of the label – ‘to provide an historical account of Bristol bands and to ensure that the talented ones are never forgotten.’

As we look forward to 2010 we have our first cd release:

www.play.com                 www.amazon.co.uk       www.hmv.co.uk             

We have three other cd releases planned which we are currently working on:

AVON CALLING 2   with sleeve notes from Simon Edwards

BRISTOL – THE PUNK EXPLOSION          with sleeve notes by Shane Baldwin

THE BRISTOL RECORDER with sleeve notes from Thomas  Brooman CBE

We are also delighted to confirm that THE CORTINAS will release a double album ‘Anthology ‘via Cherry Red Records, this will give us the opportunity to release a Cortinas album on vinyl (Limited edition)     in the spring.

The label couldn’t exist without the support of all the artists but special thanks must go to Steve Street, Paul Whitrow, Bill Gilbert, Geoff at Artworking, Ryan at Shellshock, Simon Edwards, Adrian at Great Bear and Nick Darby.

Have a great time over the Christmas break and look forward to more fantastic releases coming your way very soon.

Mike Darby
