A Sarah Records Compilation

[Scott430]

If anyone is interested, I just made a Sarah Records compilation for a friend that I thought some of you might want to a. see the tracklisting or b. download it because you are unfamiliar with the label.

 

I guess you either love or hate this label but I've always kinda loved it. Just some good pop music. And the politics of the label were pretty cool too. Seeing as Matt Haynes is kinda reluctant to reissue stuff (besides the recent Field Mice/Orchids/Heavenly re-releases) I don't see any of this being made easily available anytime soon. All of the songs come from the label's 7" releases.

What, no Boyracer? Didn't Boyracer release 3 EPs on Sarah Records ("Pure Hatred '96," "From Purity to Purgatory," and "B is for Boyracer," I believe)? Otherwise, great compilation!

Gunnersbury Park

My wife works looking out over the park. She has been known to collect small frogs there - don't ask

I only have a few Boyracer songs that I had downloaded some time ago and I really don't like any of them. I have 'I've got it and it's not worth having' and 'He get's me so hard'. I didn't enjoy either of those.

I don't know much of anything about the park besides that song. It just seemed to fit in with the Sarah Compilations that the actual label had released to name the thing after a park. But it looks like a pretty place from the pictures I've seen.

Please do so, I managed to grab a couple of tracks from the Air Balloon Road compliation a few months back and have been really enjoying them. I'd love to hear this.

I posted the mix, check the first post. I changed the tracklisting a little bit...not much though. Added some Boyracer by popular demand (sort of). Then after adding the Boyracer I realized that it sounded really out of place with the other tracks so I added some rougher tracks to make it feel more at home. I've eaten my previous comment that I didn't like Boyracer, though I'm not quite sure if it's digested yet. It's an alright song. It was sort of an important song in the history of the label at least, which is something considering this is mostly a didactic mix, though I do love all of the songs (with the acception of the aformentioned Boyracer track which I merely like as of now). If it was just a mix of my favorite songs on the label, it would probly just consist of Heavenly's discography. Anyway, enjoy the mix.

Thanks so much.
