Ben Watt is a British singer, songwriter, author, producer, DJ, and record label boss. Born on December 6, 1962 in London, England, he is the son of Scottish bandleader and jazz composer Tommy Watt. Best known as one half of the duo Everything But The Girl, Ben Watt has made significant contributions to the music industry.

In addition to his successful career with Everything But The Girl, Ben Watt owns Buzzin' Fly Records and has been married to Tracey Thorn since 2009. His diverse talents have allowed him to excel in various roles within the music world.

With an extensive discography and collaborations with notable artists such as Tracey Thorn and The Blue Nile among others from his list of similar artists including Lloyd Cole and Beth Orton; Ben Watt's musical style spans across genres like pop, jazz and electronic. His unique blend of sounds continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Caroline Records is a renowned music label that has had an interesting history. Originally established as a European offshoot of Virgin in the 1970s, it was later revived in the 1980s as a distributor and pseudo-indie label under Virgin/EMI. In 2013, Universal Music brought back the brand through Capitol Music Group. Caroline Records serves as a label for various releases bearing the *Caroline* or *Caroline Records* brands, as well as fulfilling distributor and other company roles.

The catalog number formats used by Caroline have varied over time, with prefixes like *CAROL* and *CAR*. It is important to use these numbers exactly as they appear on the release to avoid any confusion. In recent years, Caroline also adopted the standard EMI numbering system alongside their CAROL-prefix numbers.

Similar to Island Records, Caroline has been inconsistent about incorporating the word "Records" into their logos and contact information throughout their history. However, on Discogs it is considered correct to always refer to them as *Caroline Records*, even if "Records" is not present. The oldest logo of Caroline was reintroduced for several new releases in the mid-2010s. While it may be more appropriate to omit "Records" from their name now, there are too many releases associated with this label to make such edits at this point.

'Fever Dream', the new solo album from Ben Watt is released on Watt's own imprint Unmade Road through Caroline International. It was in 2014 - after sixteen years and nine albums as songwriter-performer-producer with Tracey Thorn in best-selling duo Everything But The Girl, a further ten at the helm of his award-winning electronic label Buzzin' Fly, and a radio residency on BBC 6Music - that Watt returned to his roots as a solo singer and songwriter with 'Hendra', his second album. Arriving thirty-one years after his UK Independent Chart No. 1 debut, it met with wide acclaim at home and abroad for its eloquent lyrics and stripped-back aesthetic; it featured prominently in end-of-year round-ups and pipped Anna Calvi and Blood Orange to win Best 'Difficult' Second Album at the AIM Independent Music Awards 2014. It took Ben Watt 21 years to follow up his first solo album, 'North Marine Drive', with his second, 2014's 'Hendra'. Thankfully, it's a shorter gap to his ecellent third - 'Fever Dream'.LP - Heavyweight Vinyl with Fold Out Poster.
