Record Store Day 2015 is just around the corner, April 18th in fact. We are delighted to confirm that our record store release for 2015 will be a 500 pressing of Restriction ‘Action’ ep, originally released in 1983.

Andy Sanders

October 28th, 2014
We lost another Bristol star last week. Andy Sanders guitarist with The Electric Guitars sadly passed away in St.Peters Hospice after a long battle with cancer. Andy was an amazing musician and brilliant guy who will always be missed by Steve and myself at Bristol Archive Records. The Electric Guitars were Steve’s fav band and they should have been oh so huge! We send our love to Claire and the family in these very sad times. Here’s Andy on tour with the EG’s in the USA supporting Peter Gabriel. Blessed love. Mike
