NEVER MORE
RECORDS
Never More Records was a DIY label. It
managed one single. It issued singles in NE-000 numerical
series. Distributed By The Cartel. Kata Kolbert tried to break through in
the 1980s pop scene in Britain. Her debut single ‘Live your life’ on her own
Nevermore label had cool song-writing and soft vocals that invited comparison
with Nico and Kate Bush. The only drawback was that, restricted to a wheelchair
with severe arthritis, Kolbert was unable to promote it in the acceptable way.
Her wheelchair was not sexy. While trucking her demo tape around record
companies, she was met with both uncomfortable comments and blank rejection. ‘I
couldn’t be a singer in a wheelchair in my own terms’, she said. ‘They wanted me
to be a brave struggling cripple in a nice long dress.
