Caroline

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.

English indie rock band, Mystery Jets, formed in 2004 on Eel Pie Island in Twickenham, London. The band consists of Blaine Harrison on vocals, percussion, and keys; Henry Harrison on guitar, keys, and mellotron; and Kapil Treredi on drums. With their unique sound and captivating performances, Mystery Jets have become a prominent figure in the indie rock scene. Former members Kai Fish and Will Rees also contributed to the band's success with their bass and guitar skills respectively.
Mystery Jets' music is characterized by catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a blend of various musical influences. Their songs often explore themes of love, identity, and personal growth. The band's energetic live shows have garnered them a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
Over the years, Mystery Jets have released several critically acclaimed albums including "Twenty One," "Serotonin," and "Curve of the Earth." They continue to evolve their sound while staying true to their indie roots. With each release, they push boundaries and experiment with new sounds to create an immersive musical experience for their listeners.

Mystery Jets release their sixth studio album A Billion Heartbeats. By turns tender and fierce, abstract and full of classic rock energy, A Billion Heartbeats achieves a balance of passion, fear and hope. Amid the colourful cavalcade of rich harmonies, heavy guitars and rallying cries, the album’s essential message - about personal responsibility, and the power in becoming engaged. In a sense, it's not just their "state of the nation” record but their “state of a generation” record too.
