Speedpig Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Alright guys. Pleased to see that we've finally got a cassette section on VC ! I figured I would start a thread for my label, I'll put all of my releases in here rather than starting seperate threads etc... So I started my DIY label Solid 7 Records in January this year. First release was my own band (Speedpig) and have then released a couple local Welsh bands and some from as far as Seattle & LA. Something really cool happened in April, when I approached Dick Valentine (singer of Electric 6) to suggest that he release his latest solo album as a cassette to coincide with his UK tour. He went for it, and it was such a cool experience to put out an album by a guy whose music I have loved for like 12 years, and who I have a huge amount of respect for.Have gained a bit of attention from local media, have done some radio/newspaper interviews. It's been a pretty fun ride so far! Pretty much everything is done DIY style, the only release I had pro-dubbed was the Dick Valentine tape. I print and hand-number the J Cards, dub the tapes etc in house. Tapes can be purchased from my bandcamp at solid7records.bandcamp.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emacs Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Just bought the last one! Really digging this band, hope they tour around NY soon. Speedpig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Nice one man, thanks! The band will have some copies for sale too, I think their copies only arrived in the US today. They are touring the west coast through August, who knows where they are headed after that! They definitely seem to have created a good buzz for themselves around this EP.

emacs Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Whoops, maybe I shoulda waited and bought one from them, could've saved on shipping. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yeah, that was my bad. I should have made it clear that the band would have some to sell also. I've refunded a couple quid on the shipping mate. emacs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedpig Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks mate! I've recently partnered up with a German distro who is stocking my tapes, not sure if the shipping might be cheaper from him... Tapeworshiprec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Guys, I'm really stoked to be announcing this... Gary Lee Conner - Under The Weeping Willow Tree (A Lifetime of Demos) You may know Gary Lee as the guitarist of the mighty Screaming Trees. His other projects include Dr Janet, The Purple Outside & most recently The Microdot Gnome. Solid 7 Records is proud to bring you this 47-track collection of historical demos covering the years 1987-2007. There will be 50 copies of the album, presented as a DOUBLE cassette in a large 'side by side' style case, plus hand-numbered sleeve and a guitar pick! I am anticipating a late-October release, will start a pre-order sometime before then. Of all the bands to come out of the Pacific Northwest in the 80's & 90's, none had an affect on my life quite like the Trees did with their 1996 album Dust. I have spent the last 17 years crate-digging in record stores, always trying to find a Trees rarity, or that elusive copy of Clairvoyance (I finally got my hands on one in July!). So yeah, this is a big deal for me to be working with someone whose music had such a big influence on my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
