Caff Corporation was a short-lived Brit indie label founded by Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne fame. The label operated under the names Caff, Caff Records and Caff Corporation. Established in 1989, it ran until 1992, releasing seventeen 7-inch singles. The label grew out of a fanzine that Stanley produced with a fellow band member, Pete Wiggs.
Here's a piece about the legendary (now) Bam Caruso label, founded by Phil Smee in 1983. Bam Caruso Records was a pioneering British independent label dedicated to reissuing rare '60s psychedelic, freakbeat, and garage pop/popsike music. The label is best known for its 'Rubble' series, a compilation of obscure British psychedelic tracks, quite similar in terms of quality to 'Nuggets' or 'Pebbles'.

Very cool! did you ever see issues of the Phil Smee/Bam Caruso semi-published magazine 'Strange Things Are Happening'? Mostly out in the later 80s, color covers, great articles about lots of 80s favorites and obscuros.....worth finding them!!!
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't but I'll going to start searching right after this reply, thanks!
DeleteThat was a good magazine. I never saw it around much in record or book stores . It was definitely high quality production for a fanzine.
