The return of A Turntable Friend Records starts with an opulent 40 track retrospective
compilation of their heydays in the 1990s. Peers of Sarah Records and Slumberland
Records but far from copying their style, ATF Records always had their own musical
identity allowing for a roster as diverse as Boyracer (with Even As We Speak), Secret
Shine, The Claim, The Ropers, the Hellfire Sermons + Lorelei.
This compilation is a feast of highlights from the long-deleted back catalogue plus 8
unreleased tracks from the period. Many of the original 7s & 12s are much sought after
collector items and several tracks appear on cd for the first time.
Indie guitar pop of the best variety delivered by bands from the UK< USA, Australia
+ Japan.
The release is luxuriously packaged in a tri-fold sleeve for the triple vinyl, strictly
limited to 500 for the world. It includes a 12 x 12 full colour booklet and a download
code.
The double cd comes with the same tracks also in a gatefold sleeve with full colour
booklet.
This compilation is a fundraiser for the William Wates Memorial Trust in the UK with
all profits being donated.

better off coming out in the more indie-pop friendly 2017.

A Turntable Friend Records present a reissue of Bradford's Shouting Quietly, orig.
released in 1990. Thirty years ago a young Northern band named Bradford were very
publically handed the baton by Morrissey to blaze a trail in English indie music after
the demise of The Smiths. Top British producer Stephen Street immediately signed the
band to his brand new Foundation label and the scene was set for Bradford who in the
words of Sounds Magazine in May 1988 were "Five guys with strict haircuts -- their
image conjures up short, sharp shocks but their music tells a different story...
creating intelligent and distinctive, finely crafted pop songs. There are no jangly
jaunts through well- trodden paths of predictability -- the image, the name, the
songs, the intelligence and the voice see to that". Alas two things destroyed their
chances: the collapse of Rough Trade, sending Stephen Street's new label into ruin
and the overwhelming avalanche in music that became known as "Madchester". Bradford's
brand of sleek English pop was suddenly completely out of step with the times. Thirty
years on and it's time for a reappraisal. Here it is in its remastered form, containing
three top twenty indie singles, one being the renowned indie classic "Skin Storm" which
Morrissey also recorded and released in 1991. This newly remastered re-release also
contains "In Liverpool" (a Record Mirror "Single of The Week") their first single for
Stephen Street's Foundation label, B sides, the eponymous French mini-album, and some
never before released material. Extensive liner notes by Fergal Kinney (Louder Than
War). Double CD version comes in a gatefold sleeve.

extensively toured the UK and continental Europe, finally disbanding in 1990. The
band reformed in 2006 at the request of St Etienne’s Bob Stanley to celebrate 20 years
since the release of C86, and inflicted a severe guitar noisefest on an unsuspecting
indiepop crowd at London’s ICA. Since 2012 they have been recording and releasing new
material.

limited 14 track CD in gatefold sleeve, this is the re-mastered re-release of the
second classic album by The Claim, originally released on Kevin Pearce’s legendary
Esurient Communications in 1988.
The Claim from Cliffe, Kent and were one of the key players in the then thriving
‘Medway Scene’ alongside The Prisoners, Billy Childish and The Dentists. This second
album received glowing reviews at the time including Bob Stanley’s 8/10 review in
the NME alongside numerous plays by Peel. If you want to hear where early Blur got
their sound from look no further.
The Claim’s guitarist David Arnold also played on early Jasmine Minks releases.
This re-master was done using the original quarter inch tapes and gets a luxurious
treatment as a limited green vinyl. The cd is a six panel package and features 4
unreleased demo tracks from 1988/1990. Both formats feature liner notes by David
Arnold.

The Black Watch are an indie band from Santa Barbara, California who formed in 1987.
Since then, without a great deal of people noticing and certainly with no hype,
they’ve put out 20-odd LPs and EPs. They sound like a very desirable mix of the
famed Dunedin sound, Guided By Voices and The Wedding Present. Their latest album
is Brilliant Failures, you should buy it.

Sweden’s Easy were big in their county’s indie rock scene in the early ‘90s. Their
history is sewn into the fabric of Swedish music too as Agnetha Fältskog, one of the
As in ABBA, used to be the singer’s babysitter. They toured the UK with The Charlatans,
The Jesus and Mary Chain, House of Love and Lush but it never translated into sales
over here. They have a new album, Radical Innocence, which sees them bring back their
mix of Sonic Youth-level racket and Beach Boys-level sweetness.
