RECORDS
Big Fat Production Records was a DIY label From Weston-super-Mare. It managed three singles. It issued singles in BFP-0 numerical series. Distributed By Big Fat Production Records.
the Big Fat Doormen (Jonsey, Bezi, Rob and Mark) released a brace of 45s on there local Big fat Productions label. Apparently a group of real nightclub bouncers from Weston-super-Mare, their second release, We Hear You Knocking/Rubber Ball (Bouncy Bouncers) rewrote – in a Barron Knights style – a couple of former hits to include some rather poor ‘jokes’ and references to life working the doors. Arranged and produced by Brian Monk and Chris Merrick, issued with the catalogue number BFP2 and recorded at the now long-gone Horizon West studio, the follow up Kristmas Krackers (credited to the Fat Doormen featuring Colin and the DJ All Stars, BFP 3) like its predecessor also failed to ignite the charts. The B-side of this second single was performed, not by the Fat Doormen, but by one Barry C Bubear – born in Hendon in 1931 but who sadly passed away in Weston in 2009. There’s not a lot else I can tell you about the Fat Doormen, but I can give you some more info about the man behind this project, Chris Merrick. Now working in ad sales for for Tenerife’s Oasis FM radio station,
