Twas 38 years and one day ago: On this day (Aug. 13) in 1976: soon-to-be-influential UK indie label Stiff Records was launched with the release of Nick Lowes single So It Goes, backed with Heart Of The City (BUY 1); Nick (who was also Stiffs in-house producer) played all the instruments & the single cost £65 to record; founded by former Dr. Feelgood manager Andrew Jakeman (aka Jake Riviera) & Graham Parker/Brinsley Schwarz manager Dave Robinson & originally active from 1976-85, The Worlds Most Flexible Record Label would become the blueprint for the next 30 years of indie labels & help launch a new wave of UK rock…(this & more featured today at Roch Parisiens Rocon Communications music chat page...)
