Omnivore

Omnivore Recordings is an independent record label based in Los Angeles, USA. Founded in 2010 by music industry veterans Cheryl Pawelski, Greg Allen, Dutch Cramblitt, and Brad Rosenberger, the label specializes in preserving legacies and music created by historical, heritage, and catalog artists. They are also known for releasing previously unissued and newly found "lost" recordings.

With a mission to honor the rich musical history of artists from various genres, Omnivore Recordings has acquired the catalogs of renowned musicians such as *The Buck Owens Estate*, *Big Star*, and *Game Theory* in 2017. This acquisition further solidifies their commitment to preserving important musical works that may have otherwise been forgotten or lost.

As a leading authority on archival releases and reissues, Omnivore Recordings ensures that fans of these artists can continue to enjoy their timeless music while introducing new audiences to their incredible talent. With a dedication to quality sound restoration and comprehensive liner notes, they provide listeners with an immersive experience into the artist's world.

Expanded reissue of 1976 indie pop classic Featuring future members of The dB's and Let's Active. Contains two more tracks than the sold-out RSD vinyl edition Includes photos and notes from Scott Schinder. Chris Stamey, an icon of indie pop, and friend Mitch Easter began to explore recording techniques in Winston-Salem, NC, during their youth. In 1976, Chris and his band, Sneakers (including drummer Will Rigby, with appearances from Easter), released a single on Stamey's own Carnivorous Records. The sessions were engineered by Don Dixon, who would eventually produce bands like R.E.M. (with Easter) and The Smithereens. Stamey &amp; Rigby would go on to form The dB's and Easter would reappear in Let's Active - but the Sneakers single remains vital in not only independent record history, but music in general. Omnivore Recordings is proud to reissue this seminal 7" single as an expanded CD. Sneakers' original six tracks are joined by five bonus tracks, including a cover of The Grass Roots' 'Let's Live For Today.' 9 of the tracks were available on Omnivore's 2015 10" vinyl reissue for Record Store Day Black Friday, but this new version adds 'Be My Ambulance,' which previously appeared on the 1978 collectible mini-album, 'In The Red' and 'Some Kinda Fool' from the out-of-print 1992 collection, 'Racket'. Featuring photos and an essay from Scott Schinder, Sneakers will give people the opportunity to experience this genesis of jangle pop.
