Ozit

Ozit is an independent UK label that was formed in 1996 by Chris Hewitt and Dave Edwards. It incorporates Roach Records, Ozit Records, and the American label Morpheus Records. The label specializes in releasing rarities of artists from the 1960s to 1980s, although the legality of some releases, particularly those related to Joy Division, is disputed.
With its origins in Northwich, Cheshire, Ozit has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. Led by Chris Hewitt and Dave Edwards, the label brings together various record labels including Roach Records and Ozit Records. Additionally, it acquired Morpheus Records from Darl Morgan based in America.
Ozit focuses on unearthing rare gems from artists spanning three decades - the 1960s to 1980s. Their catalog boasts an impressive collection of musical treasures that have been long sought after by enthusiasts worldwide. However, it's worth noting that certain releases have faced legal disputes due to their association with Joy Division.

The Fall was a British post-punk band formed in 1976. Led by the enigmatic Mark E. Smith, they were known for their unique sound and uncompromising approach to music. With over 30 studio albums and numerous lineup changes, The Fall remained influential throughout their career.
Combining elements of punk, rock, and experimental music, The Fall created a distinct sonic landscape that defied categorization. Their lyrics often touched on themes of social commentary and existentialism, delivered with Smith's distinctive snarling vocals.
Despite their underground status, The Fall garnered a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. Their impact can still be felt in the alternative music scene today. Explore their discography to discover the raw energy and artistic vision that made The Fall one of the most revered bands of their time.

A mixture of Live and Studio out-takes that have never been out on vinyl before. About five or six years ago Mark E Smith and I were going through some old audio recordings of The Fall both studio live and he invented a character called Holiday Tony who he said should be the person who should come round and listen to the tapes with us. He made a phone call to me telling me Holiday Tony lived in Prestwich and went to Blackpool on his holidays once a year with an old brown suitcase with recordings of The Fall inside. I even got a letter off Mark telling me when it was ok for Holiday Tony to go round and see him. Another idea of Mark’s about three years ago was to do a vinyl as a Non Record Store Day release in the weeks before Record Store Day and that every track should just be called The Holiday Tony Tapes. So here is the album.
