Oxfordshire indie label Big Scary Monsters has reached its 50th release, and will celebrate by issuing a special 50 Not Out compilation (pictured).
In the label's own words:
"_Completely against the run of play, Big Scary Monsters Records have made it to 50 releases! The half-century came as a bit of a shock to everyone but we prefer to think of it as one in the eye for the music industry Grim Reaper, rather than blind faith and an outstayed welcome from this little independent label.
"...As we approached the big five-oh we needed to mark the occasion, and it seemed only right that it be with something a little out of the norm. 50 Not Out is a compilation CD made up of 50 MP3s (are you spotting the numeric pattern yet?) from past, present and future associates of the label - including a couple you might not realise are family just yet - along with a whole heap of our favourite others. It's like a big, happy Christmas gathering... In April... On a CD... Which won't play in your stereo.
"Here's to fifty more!"_
The compilation is available to order from the BSM site here, and will be available in selected indie stores soon. Check the label's blog for information as and when it's there.
