The Groove Farm – Plug (The Story Of Pop So Far) [LP] (1989, Raving Pop Blast! Records)

Bristol-based indie popsters The Groove Farm emerged as part of the C-86 movement, serving up shambling guitar with ‘60s undertones. The band formed in 1986, comprised of singer / guitarist Andrew Jarrett, guitarist Jon Kent, bassist Rupert Taylor, and drummer Jez Butler. Founding their own label, Raving Pop Blast!, The Groove Farm released a handful of 7"s and 12" EPs as well as the full-length 'Plug (The Story of Pop So Far)' between 1987 and 1990. Also signed with the Subway Organisation label, the quartet released the 'Alvin Is King!' LP along with a variety of vinyl releases, but creative differences and financial strains led them back on the D.I.Y. track. Gaining fans like Clare Wadd (who would later co-found Sarah Records) and radio personality John Peel, The Groove Farm were covered extensively in the British fanzine press, with their song "Baby Blue Marine" issued as a flexi-disc for Kvatch. Following the breakup of the band, Jarrett formed Beatnik Filmstars -joined in the early years of the band by Kent and Butler- while Taylor went on to perform with Girlboy Girl.
