Glass Records Redux

Glass Records was one of the key London independent record labels of the 1980s, operating from 1981-1989. Known for its innovative and diverse roster, Glass Records played a crucial role in shaping the alternative music scene during that era.

In 2015, Glass Records was resurrected as *Glass Redux* with a mission to remaster classic releases "For The Kids" and discover new music for the "grown Ups". With a rich history and an eye towards the future, Glass Redux continues to celebrate and support independent artists across various genres.

Whether you're a fan of post-punk, indie rock, or experimental sounds, *Glass Redux* offers a curated selection of music that will satisfy your cravings for unique and boundary-pushing tunes. Explore our catalog and discover hidden gems that will transport you back to the vibrant musical landscape of the 80s while also introducing you to exciting contemporary artists.

At the turn of the eighties the real new romantics weren't to be found in the puppy parade that was Rusty Egan's London Blitz scene but in the modernistic uniformity of the concrete towns of the Midlands. The sublime (Eyeless In Gaza, Bron Area, Kevin's Hewick &amp; Harrison) rubbed shoulder-pads with the ridiculous (Component Erotica) and, most enigmatic of all, was In Embrace. And, no I'm not talking about Romanticism as a style or haircut or shoe, but being characterised by a heightened interest in nature, the individual's expression of emotion and imagination, departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism, and rebellion against established social rules and conventions. Suck on that Spandau Fucking Ballet.Enigmatic would-be popstar Gary Knight teamed up with enigmatic artstar Cameron Lindo, and theirs was a whispering, sweet, mysterious sound, the warble of Casiotones in a cathedral, Coventry Cathedral to be precise. You could tell that these guys walked hand in hand with their girlfriends in the ruins at midnight, and even if that wasn't true it might as well have been, though a sudden attack of bongo fury may have sometimes interrupted loves young dreamers - these things could and did happen. This inventive duo could sound vaster than a full on band, their unorthodox instrumental versatility gave them a beautiful sonic palette, and their surprisingly erotically charged lyrics gave evidence that nice boys DID. And frequently too.Now released for the first time on CD, some 33 years after it's vinyl debut, the duo's initial mini LP "The Initial Caress" hits the shelves. Digitally remastered by original producer John A. Rivers, boosted by 6 bonus demos, nicely packaged and wrapped in a card gatefold sleeve with a 12 page booklet full of notes and pics.
