Popkiss : the life and afterlife of Sarah Records
White, Michael (Michael Stuart), 1970-2016
Books, Manuscripts
From 1987 to 1995, Bristol, England's Sarah Records was a modest underground success and, for the most part, a critical laughing stock in its native country - dismissed as the sad, final repository for a fringe style of music whose moment had passed. Yet now, more than 20 years after its founders symbolically 'destroyed' it, Sarah is among the most passionately fetishized record labels of all time. Its rare releases command hundreds of dollars, devotees around the world seek out any information they can find about its poorly documented history, and young musicians claim its bands as major influences. Featuring dozens of exclusive interviews with the music-makers, producers, writers and assorted eyewitnesses who played a part in Sarah's eight-year odyssey, this is a biography of an unlikely cult legend.
