Glass Records was a British independent record label which operated from 1981 to 1990, and was resurrected in 2015. Early releases focused on artists from Northampton (Religious Overdose, Where's Lisse and The Jazz Butcher), and the Midlands (Bron Area and In Embrace). The label released several records by artists having later associations with other London-based indies: Creation Records (The Jazz Butcher and Nikki Sudden & The Jacobites); Fire Records (Spacemen 3 and The Perfect Disaster). Glass's mainstay acts were The Pastels, In Embrace and The Jazz Butcher. The label also issued material by Bauhaus member David J, and American punk band The Replacements, and the influential Liverpool Ur-grunge Walkingseeds.
Founder David Barker went on to work for Fire Records, creating the Paperhouse label, taking the Walkingseeds with him, and releasing the first Teenage Fanclub album, then moving to Creation Records for two years.
Glass Records returned in 2015 as Glass Redux, reissuing some of its catalogue, unreleased material, rarities and new material from associated and former artists on the label. With the exception of 3 LPs for Record Store Day 2018, all these releases are on CD. In 2016, Glass launched the Glass Miniature download only imprint. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]

One of the best compilations from the early eighties. If you don't know where to start listening try two of my absolute fave tracks: Where's Lisse?'s "Red Light" + Richard Formby's "Your Name You're Strange". Pure genius.
ResponderEliminarYep, I think Glass was one of the most underrated labels ot that time
