HEARTBEAT RECORDS: Set up in 1978, to provide a platform for music from the Bristol (UK) area to reach a wider audience. Initially run as a partnership between Tony Dodd (Tony's Records, & ace guitar man) and Simon Edwards (local musician & manager), though after the first release Tony decided to concentrate on the shop & Heartbeat became a one man operation. A number of singles & albums were subsequently released around the label flagship "Avon Calling" - The Bristol Compilation LP, which went on to bring Bristol music much deserved critical acclaim & thanks to John Peel a good deal of national airplay. Bristol Archive Records
GLAXO BABIES: One of the greatest UK post-punk band you've never heard. Formed in Bristol in late 1977 and named after the British pharmaceutical giant who allegedly inoculated thousands with a toxic vaccine, the band's pioneering mix of metallic guitar, dubbed-out rhythms and shamanistic chants found its way into the bloodlines of generations on both sides of the pond. Naturally, Glaxo members later joined The Pop Group and Maximum Joy.: Superior Viaduct

SOCIAL SECURITY: SOCIAL SECURITY The first band to have a record released on Heartbeat, and a true DIY producion - a four track EP recorded live in the drummers' basement. Hailed as charming rustic by John Peel, the band also had tracks on the legendary Avon Calling releases. They were one of the hardest working live acts around, easily recognisable by the unique sound of the Vox Teardrop guitar. .
