Three music videos I never thought I would see again. Now we can courtesy of youtube. Stiff Records was a beacon for indie record labels in 1976/1977. It all seemed so honest and hand-to-mouth, when it was really a mini-major able to promote playfully and quickly in a way that the corporate labels never could. It all went silly, but it was fun while it lasted.
Wreckless Eric Whole Wide World
Eric Goulden is still around. He releases albums under different names. Alot out of France where they like him -- sort of the Jerry Lewis of punk. This single was produced by Nick Lowe.
Nick Lowe I love the sound of breaking glass
The first record released by Stiff. The Label number was BUY ONE.
Ian Dury Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll
One of Stiff's biggest stars. The album, "New Boots and Panties!!!" was a huge seller, going Gold. This single was not on the initial pressings of the record.
