FRESH RECORDS
*************
The seeds of Fresh Records were sown in Alex Howe's Wretched Records stall in
London's Soho Market in 1978 . Alex ran a mail order service , and demand from
other shops for the Buzzcocks "Spiral Scratch" EP led him to start Fresh Distribution.
Bands such as the Art Attack , Second Layer , UK Decay and Manufactired Romance came
to the stall looking for an outlet for their records.
Alan Hauser joined Alex in 1979 bringing his Parole Records label with Family Fodder ,
Cuddly Toys and Bernie Torme to set up the Fresh Records label , and the roster
quickly took shape.
