Back in November 1975, Ted Carroll finally made his dream of starting an independent label a reality when Chiswick released their first single - The Count Bishop's \"Speedball\" EP. Flanked by Roger Armstrong and Trevor Churchill, Chiswick were in the right place at the right time. They were soon releasing singles that dropped anchor in pub rock, punk, metal, pop and rockabilly by the likes of the 101'ers, Motörhead, the Gorillas, the Radio Stars, the Radiators, the Stukas and many more. There were also big names before they got bigger. Joe Strummer led the 101'ers. Johnny \u0026amp; the Self Abusers later morphed into Simple Minds whereas Riff Raff featured a young Billy Bragg. Solo artist Jakko became a mainstay of a later incarnation of King Crimson. Over seven years, Chiswick singles not only sold well but the label even managed score chart singles with artists as diverse as the Radio Stars, Sniff 'n' the Tears, Rocky Sharpe \u0026amp; The Replays and the Damned. Compiled by Roger Armstrong this 3-LP set pulls together some of the finest 45rpm output from Chiswick issued between 1975 and 1982. From the well-known to minor-classics. Roger Armstrong and Ted Carroll have also penned the informative line notes with stories ranging from hiring an aeroplane to take a promoter to see a gig in France in those early days, how a brief piano part was added to the Damned's 'Smash It Up' and Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott came to produce Terry Woods 'Tennessee Stud'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeenage Letter - the Count Bishops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Keys to Your Heart - the 101'Ers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Train Train - the Count Bishops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gatecrasher - the Gorillas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dirty Pictures - the Radio Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Television Screen (Single Version) -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Radiators from Space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Motörhead - Motörhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do It 77 - Twink and the Fairies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No One - Johnny Moped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Saints and Sinners - Johnny and the Self Abusers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Night of the Werewolf - Lee Kristofferson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hang Loose (I've Gotta Rock) - Whirlwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Wanna Be Free - the Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Want You to Dance with Me - Jeff Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Common Truth - Amazorblades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nervous Wreck - the Radio Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Romford Girls - Riff Raff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Klean Living Kids - the Stukas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Want Candy - the Bishops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rama Lama Ding Dong -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rocky Sharpe ; the Replays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Driver's Seat - Sniff 'N' the Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Song of the Faithful Departed - the Radiators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hey Baby - Disguise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Take What I Want - the Bishops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Song - the Damned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smash It Up - the Damned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Radioactive Kid - the Meteors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tomahawk Cruise - T V Smith's Explorers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e That Driving Beat - Red Beans and Rice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Automobile - the Stick Shifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heart - Rocky Sharpe ; the Replays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sign Language - Minor Classics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tennessee Stud - Terry Woods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Go Go Go - Albania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kwagayo - Two Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Grab What You Can (Biez Co Mozesz) - Jakko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 029667027717 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Chiswick \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 9.05.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420375949647,"sku":"029667027717","price":7.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4449784-3434086.jpg?v=1775622756","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/chiswick-records-1975-1982-seven-years-at-45-rpm-various","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
