SHIFT
RECORDS
Independent label: Shaft
Records Shift Records was setup by Bobby Henry. David Scott
began writing songs while a teenager in Glasgow in the early '80s. In the summer
of 1984, Scott played his earliest bedroom efforts to local musician Bobby
Henry, who offered to put a pair of them on The Shift Compilation, an anthology
of Glasgow bands released on Henry's own Shift Records. Released under the band
name Chewy Raccoon, a joke name that stuck, the songs attracted enough attention
that Scott and the band were signed to Shift's distributor, Phonogram, which
released the group's sole single, "Don't Touch Me," in August 1985. The single
flopped, Scott was dropped by Phonogram, and the Chewy Raccoon name was,
thankfully, retired. Distributed By Phonogram.
