The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The second Beat Happening album. Feedback squeals, 11 songs that are heavy like chocolate cake or breath on your neck. Jamboree is hailed as the one that got everyone to stop dawdling and start creating. Calvin, Heather, and Bret: three people with a passion that's still causing after-shocks, decades and some change after initial release. Originally a 1988 co-release with Rough Trade in the U.S. and Stephen Pastel's 53rd &amp; 3rd label in Scotland, Jamboree has been out of print on vinyl for years. Includes the original version of "Indian Summer," since covered by the likes of Ben Gibbard and R.E.M. Nail it to your turntable and arch your back to the primitive beat.
