Label GB

LTM Recordings, originally known as Les Temps Modernes, was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by James Nice. The label's early releases showcased the talents of Section 25, The Happy Family, and Crispy Ambulance. After relocating to Brussels for four years in 1987, Nice also worked for Les Disques du Crepuscule and later PIAS. LTM was reactivated in 1997 with a focus on CD reissues from the bankrupt Factory Records and its European counterpart Les Disques du Crépuscule. Over time, the label expanded its scope to include new wave, electronic, and post-punk artists along with new recordings and DVDs.

In 2008, LTM launched the compilation series Auteur Labels featuring volumes dedicated to New Hormones, Crepuscule, Factory Records, Factory Benelux, Independent Project, and Object Music. Additionally, LTM has shown an interest in experimental artists from the 20th century such as Erik Satie, Wyndham Lewis,
Marcel Duchamp,
and William S. Burroughs. They have published audio works by these artists alongside compilations representing Futurist,
Dada,
Surrealist,
Bauhaus,
and De Stijl movements. Notably,the Boutique Label operates as a sub-division of LTM.

BBC Sessions traces the history of the Passage through their several John Peel sessions for BBC radio one. The first, from November 1980, features vocalist Lizzy Johnson, and catches the band in transition. The second and third peel sets, from October 1981 and &lt;ay 1982 respectively, feature two otherwise unrecorded tracks in Rod of Iron and Form and Void. The collection also includes three unreleased demos from 1983.
