Cherry Red

<p>Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.</p>

<p>Felt is an English indie pop band from Water Orton, Warwickshire. Formed by Lawrence in 1979, they gained critical acclaim and a cult following with their unique sound. Their first single 'Index' was released on Lawrence's own label, followed by a string of releases through Cherry Red Records featuring the talented guitarist Maurice Deebank. Despite achieving a #1 indie single with 'Primitive Painters', Felt never achieved mainstream success but remained influential in the indie music scene. After Deebank's departure in 1986, they signed to Creation Records and released the acclaimed album 'Forever Breathes The Lonely Word'. Over the next decade, Felt released ten albums, fulfilling Lawrence's prophecy made in 1980.</p>

Remastered by Kevin Metcalfe and Lawrence 2022 edition of Felt's first studio album from 1982. 6 song LP with very sparse arrangements. Quietly strummed guitars and minimal floor tom. Lawrence’s ambition was to release the best debut English album ever! Adrian Borland offered his services, then commitments with his band The Sound prevented this from happening. So Felt began a relationship with Swell Maps producer John A. Rivers. Recorded and mixed in six days the band got a taste of how bitter reality fares compared to the “mellow fruitfulness” of blind ambition.
