Independent label: Cow Records was a sub label of Parent Label Mute Records Ltd. Inspiral Carpets are an alternative rock band from Oldham in Greater Manchester, England formed by Graham Lambert and Stephen Holt in 1983. Their sound is based around psychedelic keyboards and guitars. Schoolfriends Lambert and Holt recruited drummer Craig Gill, and formed Inspiral Carpets in 1983, originally as a garage punk band. After various other members had come and gone, by 1987 the line-up included bassists Dave Swift and Mark Hughes (who left shortly after) and organist Clint Boon (whose Ashton-under-Lyne studio the band had been using for rehearsals). Their first single, the Planecrash EP, was released on Playtime Records on a 12" record and sold out immediately. Unfortunately, a follow-up EP was delayed because their label's distributor "Red Rhino" went bankrupt. Feeling that they should be more in control of their own material, the band formed their own record label, Cow Records, in 1988. Distributed By Mute Records.
