• CHISWICK RECORDS was the first of the new wave of British independent labels that have so successfully challenged the monopoly of the major record cos. over the last few years and helped change the face of the record business so radically. Started in 1975, two years before the punk explosion, CHISWICK was originally conceived as an oldies label and was launched with a 4 track E.P. of hot & sweaty 60's ' style R&B from the Count Bishops. Without actually setting the charts alight in many ways it did have a profound effect on the 'do it yourself attitude that developed over the next 18 months, spawning a host of independent labels and the back to basics approach of the punk movement. In early 76 followed the second release in the shape of the genuine 50s rock & roll reissue "Brand New Cadillac" by Vince Taylor. This was subsequently covered by The Clash in 1980 and coincidentaily the third CHISWICK single "Keys To Your Heart" featured the vinyl debut of mr. Joe Strummer fronting The 101ers, one of the bands who bridged the gap between the 'pub rock' scene & the impending new wave outburst. Though frequently regarded as a punk/new wave label CHISWICK'S output has consistently covered a wide range of musical styles, as evidenced by the album you are now holding. The first CHISWICK chart success was in fact Motorhead pre-empting the current heavy metal revival by three years. Radio Stars produced the second U.K. chart success with 'Nervous Wreck', unashamed 'power pop' before it was invented. Rocky Sharpe & The Replays provided the first international success with Rama Lama Ding Dong', a great piece of nonsense rock & roll doo wop and Sniff 'N'The Tears went one stage further providing the first CHISWICK U.S. top twenty hit with 'Drivers Seat'.
And so to the present day when the record business is suffering the worst recession in years & CHISWICK have just signed two exciting new acts in the shape of Tony Koklin, with his 'off the wall' pop & Albania and their 'new musik with roots' - original to say the least. If you have bought CHISWICK records in the past then you may think you know what to expect, buy "BUY CHISWICK RECORDS" and be surprised. If you have never heard of CHISWICK records then buy "BUY CHISWICK RECORDS" and be even more surprised - cheap at twice the price.
