nboldock 21st Jun 2017		CD Single Label Of Love - The Way (1998)	Thanks Plocky, it never occurred to me that there might be a YouTube vid. I did originally enter it as you suggest but then changed it! I will change it back I think. The song name is definitely The Way, the inlay has the lyrics (I'll do the other scans in due course).
nboldock 19th Jun 2017		CD Single Label Of Love - The Way (1998)	I'm not 100% sure the band are called The Way here. But that seems most likely from the packaging (it certainly isn't clear though). These were evidently a Church-based Christian outfit from Hull. I haven't played it.
nboldock 12th Jun 2017		CD Single Scarlet - I Wanna Be Free (To Be With Him) (1995)	No, I mean, it's plain silver, no printing at all. Both sides look like the playing surface.
nboldock 11th Jun 2017		CD Single Scarlet - I Wanna Be Free (To Be With Him) (1995)	I have a copy with a CD that is silver on both sides, i.e. it doesn't appear to have been printed.
nboldock 11th Jun 2017		CD Single Sade - Feel No Pain (Nellee Hooper Remix) (1992)	Slightly scruffy front cover added - can be deleted once a better one lands.
nboldock 11th Jun 2017		CD Single Cliff Richard - The Millenium Prayer (1999)	It wasn't banned, I believe the BBC just decided Cliff was no longer suitable for their mainstream stations and declined to add him to their main playlists. And as he was putting out this kind of deranged nonsense at the time (no offence) it's hardly surprising...
nboldock 12th May 2017		CD Single Shaun Davey - From The Works Of Shaun Davey (1991)	Looking at the evidence available I would be happy with these as promo only - the barcode does suggest otherwise but it doesn't prove anything and given we have reliable testimony from the head of the label itself, it seems fairly clear that "Promo" is correct.
nboldock 8th May 2017		CD Single Marx - An Exaggerated Demonstration Of Potentially Fabricated Events (2017)	DIY release (handwritten CD so no scan) from Hull/Manchester rapper/emcee Marx. Debut EP. Available from Bandcamp here.
nboldock 28th Mar 2017		CD Single La Bête Blooms - La Bête Blooms (2014)	Superb... [YouTube Video]
nboldock 10th Feb 2017		CD Single Room 22 - T.O.S.C. (2016)	[YouTube Video]
nboldock 5th Feb 2017		CD Single Rag'N'Bone Man - Human (2016)	I can't get on with this at all. I get that he can sing. But to me it's just another over-produced nu-pop-soul thing... maybe it's just me.
nboldock 5th Feb 2017		CD Single Eliza Carthy And The Wayward Band - The English Electric EP (2017)	Cool. I have the forthcoming album on pre-order (on vinyl, naturally). Saw them live last year - they were fantastic.
nboldock 5th Feb 2017		CD Single Mingus - Gonna Getcha (1997)	Mingus is fronted by Tony Menzies (ex COUM Transmissions) - I've just had the pleasure of meeting Tony for a chat and he kindly gave me a copy of this CD (and a compilation which I'll add shortly). Pretty good, this.
nboldock 2nd Jan 2017		CD Single The Beautiful South - Prettiest Eyes (1994)	CD2 doesn't appear to be on the site yet (I've got it somewhere though) - release date for CD2 was the 8th of August (this one came out Aug 1st).
nboldock 30th Dec 2016		CD Single Merz - Many Weathers Apart	I hadn't noticed the mastering studio logo on the CD. This is quite interesting, I guess it could be a kind of "test pressing"... anyone got any insider knowledge on these things? Funnily enough I got hold of a test pressed album on CD recently (from the band), but it was the same as the commercial release except with a "Test" sticker on it. But that was an album, whereas this isn't... Intriguing.
nboldock 26th Dec 2016		CD Single Merz - Many Weathers Apart	Are you sure this isn't a promo? It sure looks like one...
nboldock 6th Dec 2016		CD Single Fiona Lee - Rome (2016)	Young singer/songwriter from Hull.
nboldock 5th Dec 2016		CD Single Joe Solo And The Hatfield Brigade - Merry Christmas From Hatfield Main (2016)	Joe Solo and the Hatfield Brigade's tilt at the Xmas Number One spot, with proceeds going to support those affected by austerity measures in the UK. Download from Bandcamp here - also on iTunes and whatnot. And here's the video - [YouTube Video]
nboldock 17th Nov 2016		CD Single Katie Spencer - Live Soundtrack To A Short Film (2016)	Reminiscent of Laura Marling, this is Katie's first EP release - there aren't many left as it's limited to 100 copies but grab one here if you can - http://katiespencerofficial.bandcamp.com/releases.
nboldock 21st Oct 2016		CD Single Chambers - Disappear (2016)	[YouTube Video] Download on sale here (CD sold out).
nboldock 22nd Aug 2016		CD Single My Pleasure - Party Popper (2016)	[YouTube Video]
nboldock 6th Aug 2016		CD Single LIFE [Hull] - I Knew I Was A Rat (2015)	[YouTube Video]
nboldock 6th Aug 2016		CD Single LIFE [Hull] - I Knew I Was A Rat (2015)	Where it says "free" on the front, that's not part of the cover, they were giving the last few of these away today hence I got one. But they wrote "Free" on them :-(
nboldock 16th May 2016		CD Single Gizzacroggy - We Are Ull (2016)	Allow me to explain, for those not from Hull (or 'Ull). As you can see this is a new CD released to celebrate the 2017 City Of Culture award - I believe they're releasing this for charity, too. The name Gizzacroggy... if you're from Hull you know what it means, but if you're not... a "croggy" is a lift on the back of your mate's bike, so when you're a kid in Hull and you're mate comes along with his new chopper (or whatever), you would go - "Oi mate, gizzacroggy!". See? The artwork on the front is a Hull landmark, the mosaic "Three Ships" by Alan Boyson (a Wolverhampton artist), which has adorned the front of the BHS building since 1963. More on the mosaic here.
nboldock 29th Mar 2016		CD Single Suffocation [Hull] - Second Generation (Keep On Coming) (1994)	Producer "Gary Burrows" should, I think, actually be Gary Burroughs (well known producer and musician from Hull, sadly no longer with us). Excellent CD, this.
nboldock 25th Mar 2016		CD Single Percy - West Yorkshire Super Heroes (1998)	Features Hugh Whitaker (The Housemartins).
nboldock 17th Mar 2016		CD Single Jack Conman - Euphoria Springs EP (2016)	[YouTube Video]
nboldock 16th Mar 2016		CD Single LIFE [Hull] - Popular Music (2016)	Proper excellent. [YouTube Video]
nboldock 17th Feb 2016		CD Single Babylon Zoo - Spaceman (Radio Edit) (1996)	Disappeared up his own backside I think.
nboldock 7th Feb 2016		CD Single Soda - The Prettiest Souls (1996)	I had to photograph the front cover as it's luminous orange and my scanner threw a wobbler over it. Best I could do. I believe this one is promo only, no regular release (as far as I know).
