Secret Records is a renowned music label that was established in 1980. Originally starting as a punk label, it has since evolved and expanded its genre choices over the years. In the 1990s, Secret Records began exploring a broader range of genres beyond punk. As the new millennium arrived, the focus shifted towards releasing music DVDs and live CDs, which remains their primary concentration to this day.

The diverse catalogue of Secret Records showcases an impressive collection of *artists* from various musical backgrounds. With a rich history spanning several decades, this label has played a significant role in shaping the music industry.

Owned by [l53816], Secret Records continues to be at the forefront of delivering exceptional music experiences through their high-quality releases. Whether you're a fan of punk or seeking out captivating live performances on CD or DVD, Secret Records offers an extensive selection that caters to all music enthusiasts.

The Bluetones are a London-based four-piece indie-pop band formed in 1993. They were highly successful during the peak of Britpop in the mid-90's, achieving a debut number one album that knocked Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory? from the top spot. Their most famous song, "Slight Return," just missed out on a number one single due to Babylon Zoo's "Spaceman" being featured in a Levi's TV ad. Despite this, Scott joked that he actually bought a copy of "Spaceman." In their early days, they shared a house in Hounslow with Dodgy.
In 2011, The Bluetones decided to call it quits and embarked on a farewell tour. However, Mark continued to record and tour solo material. The band later reunited for an anniversary tour in 2015/6 and also re-released two demos (including Slight Return) on limited edition 7" vinyls for the occasion.
Eds from The Bluetones went to school with Gem Archer of Heavy Stereo and Oasis fame. With their catchy indie-pop sound, The Bluetones have often been compared to similar artists such as The Seahorses, Shed Seven, Dodgy, Longpigs, Sleeper, Ocean Colour Scene, Mansun, Cast, Echobelly,and Gene among others.

Recorded live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London 18th November 2005 and featuring eight Top Forty singles, now available on blue vinyl.
