Behold Finders Keepers, a British record label, 40 years in the making, introducing fans of psychedelic / jazz / folk / funk / avant-garde and whacked-out movie musak to a lost world of undiscovered vinyl artefacts from the annals of alternative pop history. Catering to record collectors and DJ-producers alike with a huge emphasis on sample friendly soundscapes, rocksteady back-beats and primitive electronic experimentalism.
Discerning purveyors of the bizarre and abnormal should expect Japanese choreography records, space-age Turkish protest songs, Czechoslovakian vampire soundtracks, Welsh-rare-beats, bubblegum-folk, drugsploitation operatics, banned British crime thrillers and celebrity Gallic Martini adverts... presented on CD, 7 and traditional black plastic discs in authentic packaging.
Manc-based vinyl-vulture, recording artist and record producer Andy Votel enlists the skills of fellow B-Music DJ and designer Dominic Thomas and Delay 68s Rare-Disc-Detective Doug Shipton to form a team of psychedelic librarians and cosmic-pop-quiz-elitists to run their new Twisted Nerve distant sister-label, leaving no progressive pebble unturned or record collection un-rifled.
Future compilations and re-issues will feature collaborative curators such as David Holmes, Cherrystones and Bob Stanley and further contributions from mystery A-/B+ pop-celebrity fanatics of outsider music and ultra-rare bakelite discs.
Finders Keepers is an 'accidental world music label' with a punk aesthetic and DJ friendly ethos which allows the desperate listener to sit back while we deliver schizoid cultural-channel-hopping compilations and rare-as-rocking-horse-shit & hens-teeth re-releases to the comfort of your psych-starved living room.
