November 19th, 2015RIP Popsy Curious
November 18th, 2015Popy Curious passed away this morning.
Popsy was the most helpful, wonderful man. He was a constant source of energy, believing that our mission to uncover lost gems and recognise the talent within the people was a beautiful thing. Popsy never talked about himself or his talent (which was huge) but always enquired about how everyone else was doing (his friends in his words). Occasionally I’d moan about the behaviour of the odd person or band – Popsy would encourage me to remain strong and rise above.
I’ll miss Popsy, Bristol will miss Popsy, His family will miss him, St.Pauls will miss him. He’ll always be there in our hearts and on our record sleeves. We’d already agreed and planned three releases with his pictures on. The Bristol Roots Explosion will be the first, released in the spring of 2016 (Popsy on his bike outside the Bamboo Club)
Popsy we salute you, I salute you. RIP my dear friend. Thanks for all your help.

November 18th, 2015Record Store Day 2016
November 18th, 2015Statement from Sugar Shack Records.
As the parent company in the group that incorporates Reggae Archive Records and Bristol Archive Records we will not be participating in Record Store Day 2016. We have made a decision that the corporate intensity demonstrated by the major labels to essentially high jack which was once a good idea, has destroyed our enthusiasm. As such we won’t expose ourselves to the risk of letting our fans down by not being able to guarantee that a record will be manufactured in time for the event. We will do our best to continue to release amazing records in 2016 (some will be scheduled very soon) but nothing will appear as part of Record Store Day 2016.
