Welcome

PoppyDisc is the bespoke record label, exotic, yet exquisitely styled, individual but inclusive. We pride ourselves in releasing recordings by some of the most extraordinary music makers both of the past and of the now. Here are just some of them: ultra-romantic indie-pop godfathers BMX Bandits, the smoothe jazz tinged tomes of Chet Baker, the noise-tastic St. Deluxe, Korean pop chanteuse YeonGene, Belgian provocateur Jacques Brel, sweet Gene Vincent, Moondog the Viking of Sixth Avenue and the original soundtrack of 'The Girl Can't Help It' (released on CD for the first time ever) ...we think you will like what you hear.

PoppyDisc is delighted to announce our latest batch of wonderful releases.  Titles include Sandy Salisbury's Sandy! album; Forbidden Planet--the soundtrack from the sci fi classic of the same name; and from the lovely BMX Bandits on their 25th anniversary year, C86/Star Wars.

 

SANDY SALISBURY:  SANDY!


 

Sandy Salisbury's wonderful, but sadly lost 1969 album, SANDY! is out for the first time ever on deluxe collectible VINYL! Produced by the amazing and prolific starmaker, Curt Boettcher, and featuring the cream of L.A.'s youngest session men of the time, as well as his Millennium colleagues Joey Stec, Lee Mallory, Douglas Rhodes, Ron Edgar and Michael Fennelly.  Lovingly remastered by Nick Robbins (The Zombies Box Set; many, many Creation Records projects; and the cream of the Ace Records catalogue), with fabulous liner notes by PoppyDisc darling Duglas T. Stewart (BMX Bandits).

 

FORBIDDEN PLANET


 

PoppyDisc is very proud to present the innovative electronic soundtrack to cult Sci Fi film, Forbidden Planet.  For the first time ever on deluxe limited edition VINYL!  Created in pre-synthesizer days by Louis and Bebe Barron, using Norbert Weiner's principles of cybernetics. The recording features the use of bespoke circuits painstakingly created for each sound, all eventually recorded on the earliest tape recorders in the United States.  The Barron's methods created unique soundscapes which were impossible to replicate. Remastered with peculiar attention to detail by Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub; Jonny), this album includes fabulous liner notes by distinguished Scottish broadcaster John Cavanagh and the glorious cover re-imagined from Mentor Huebner's original visual conceptualisations by Andy Morten.

 

BMX BANDITS:  C86/STAR WARS


In celebration of the Bandits' 25th Anniversary year, PoppyDisc is most pleased to re-present the BMX Bandits two earliest albums, C86 and Star Wars, together for the first time on one great CD.  Featured on these recordings are seminal Glasgow music figures including Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub; Jonny), Eugene Kelly (The Vaselines; Eugenius), and Francis Macdonald (Teenage Fanclub), as well as our Master of Ceremonies, the wonderful Duglas T. Stewart.  Remastered for 2011 by Nick Robbins, and repackaged with a fun, new sleeve design by Donald Soutar combined with Duglas' wry memories of the Bandits' earliest days.
