Demon is a UK 80s New Wave label that was founded by Elvis Costello, Andrew Lauder, and the company behind the label in 1980. In 1998, the label was acquired by Music Collection International and merged with its Westside Records operation. Today, Demon forms part of the Demon Music Group Ltd.

Jesus Jones is a British alternative rock band formed in the 1980s. The band was initially started by Mike Edwards and Simon Matthews, who later met Alan Doughty. After unsuccessful attempts under different names, Jesus Jones was born with the addition of Iain Baker and Jerry de Abela Borg. They signed a deal with Food Records after persistent efforts, releasing their demo which included popular tracks like "Info Freako," "Cut & Dried," and "Welcome Back Victoria."
However, when EMI became more involved in Food Records, they exerted more control over Jesus Jones' music, resulting in their album "Already" suffering from delayed release and lack of label support. Eventually dropped by the label, Mike Edwards remained as part of the band while Gen left due to conflicting schedules with other projects.
The band continued with Tony Arthy as their new drummer and signed with Koch Records. Their album "London" received critical acclaim but did not achieve commercial success. Despite this setback, Jesus Jones released the 4-track single "Culture Vulture," allowing fans to create their own mixes using elements from the title track.

Jeanette Jones is one of the great unsung belters of 60s soul. Though she had just one solo release in 1969, Jeanette's powerful pipes have come to be admired by many in recent years, thanks to the appearance of originally unissued tracks such as 'Cut Loose' and 'You'd Be Good For Me' on Kent and BGP releases. Jeanette first came to prominence as the lead singer of the Voices Of Victory gospel choir. Singled out by studio owner Leo Kulka, she was signed in 1968 and began work on an album, with arrangements by such notables as Rene Hall and Wally Cox. Just one single slipped out from the sessions in 1969, the stirring ballad 'Darling, I'm Standing By You'. Despite the quality of uptempo tracks such as 'Break Someone Else's Heart' and 'Jealous Moon', Kulka was unable to shop the album and Jeanette eventually disappeared from the music scene. Kent's vinyl album 'Dreams All Come True' captures Jeanette at her ebullient best with her complete solo recordings in one neat package with beautiful photographs from the late 60s. A true treat for anyone touched by the gospel power of this little-heralded, eminently soulful diva.
