Caroline True Records is inspired by all the great records that we've all listened to late at night over time. CTR has collaborated with many people in it's first 5 years including Paul Hartnoll of Orbital, Fred Deakin of Airside and Lemon Jelly, Rob Lloyd from punk legends the Prefects and later Independent Musical legends and Peel favourites the Nightingales. Also,Jon Savage, Punk Rock authority and national cultural treasure, currently making an album of Post-Punk favourites (and not yet faves) with CTR. Young and fresh Bronx based DJ and remixers of great current note Pocketknife and Cousin Cole are also label advocates.
The plan is-there is no plan. No marketing agenda. No niche. We have fans too. Lawrence from post-Punk legends Felt/Denim and Ben Thompson-journo extraordinaire come to mind..Hey-we'll see what happens-right?
CTR's DJ musical agenda stretches from Post-Punk and Dub through to Disco and way beyond.
Steve Walsh will be amongst the Djs on the evening. Ex NME and Zig-Zag writer and vocalist/guitarist with early eighties/Late seventies punk-funk leaders Manicured Noise. Original co-founder of The Flowers Of Romance along with Sir Sid Vicious and Keith Levene of P.I.L . A rennaisance man. So good that P.I.L even named a track after them.
Manicured Noise:
Manicured Noise were a late seventies/early eighties Manchester based group. They released two singles and recorded a BBC Radio session before they split. They were rediscovered and re-assessed a couple of years ago with the CTR Northern Stories 1978-80 compilation which gained some great reviews from all over the world. Since then the band has seized the attention globally of very many music lovers and Djs -with a strong Argentinian MN fanbase owing in some part to the connection with the Argentine 80's Punk/Reggae superstar Luca Prodan. Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly / Airside has remixed their tracks - along with current NYC Disco enfant - terriblesPocketknife and Cousin Cole. "Faith" remains a classic 7" of the Post-Punk period.
"Metronome" has enjoyed repeated plays on London and NYC dancefloors:

Doubtless, they were ahead of their time..which seems to be now.
