DAY I ATE THE WORLD
RECORDS
Day I Ate
The World Records was a DIY label. It managed three singles. It issued
singles in JSY-0 numerical series. Distributed By Day I Ate The World Records.
The band Johnny Says Yeah! began writing/recording songs as Johnny Says Yeah in
early 1986, with all the band still in their teens. The songs were written by
the partnership of two brothers, Ja and Jools Wilson, who along with the bass
player Simon Preston, and drummer, Dan Machin, were the nucleus of the band.
After playing gigs in their local area of Lincolnshire, Johnny Says Yeah!
released their first single "Bittersweet" in the summer of 1986, on their own
"Day I Ate The World" label. This was followed by a 4 song session on the
"Janice Long Show" on BBC Radio One in the autumn of 1986. With no record deal
negotiated, the band released a second single on their own label, entitled "Some
Things Are More Simple". Johnny Says Yeah! continued gigging, and recording new
songs into 1988, but released no more singles.
