PS - Only listed the most obvious labels - I know there were many small labels out there during the 80s...

You missed out on Megatone Records. Many great releases from Sylvester to Patrick Cowley.

Oooooh, now this is a hard one!!! (oo-er!!)

Some of my favourite tracks were released on all of these labels...I was tempted to go for either Carrere (home of the holiday hit!) or Teldec (Fun Fun's German label) but bought British and went for Record Shack...just for the memories of buying classics by Eartha, Miquel and Earlene with birthday money and/or my first wages!!! Not forgetting the fantastic Break Machine (joke!!!) :D

It`s a shame RECORD SHACK folded... According to "insider info"they got too ambitious and pressed too many copies of later releases that just did not sell enough copies... :cry:

It is a shame about Record Shack - for a time they were the most successful independent label in the UK - Some achievement !

It is, especially when, if you mention "independent label" to some people, they think of boring students droning on whilst producing feedback over about three chords played continuously!!!! Let's not forget, PWL was an independent!!!

But was never seen as "trendy and hip" enough to warrant much praise...

The trouble with Record Shack was the way Ian promoted only his records for the boystown charts in Record Mirror!

Got even worse when he started up Nightmare records.

No wonder Record Mirror scrapped the chart.


The best stuff on R Shack was signed from other labels anyway ;)

Shy Rose - I Cry For You :)

Proto anyone?

12" of pleasure - a title which always bought a smile to me face.

Have to agree with Megatone though - the US hi-nrg sound was better imho.
