FRESH
RECORDS
Fresh Records was founded in Alex Howe's Wretched Records
stall in London's Soho Market in 1978. Alex also ran a mail-order service, and
demand from other shops for the Buzzcock's 'Spiral Scratch' EP led him to start
Fresh Distribution. Bands such as the Art Attacks, Second Layer, UK Decay and
Manufactured Romance came to the stall looking for an outlet for their records.
Alan Hauser joined Alex in 1979 bringing his Parole Records label with Family
Fodder, Cuddly Toys, The Wall and Bernie Torme to set up the Fresh Records
label, and the roster quickly took shape. The label existed until 1982, at which
point it became part of the Jungle Records family.
