Spiral Scratch articleIn 1988, Spiral Scratch – a sort of inept Record Collector (“for those who know the value of nothing but would still quite like to know its price in G/VG condition” – Oscar Wilde) – printed this bit of pro-Tory propaganda suggesting readers invest in Sarah, a label “run by Matt and his girlfriend Clare” (oh dear… not a good start…), because “even if you lose in the collectable stakes, you can console yourself [with] some fine music”… as if listening to Sean Urchins’ dreary Summershine could ever really make up for the loss of 50p and an SAE. Whatever happened to Mr Urchins, I wonder? I hope he’s OK. Shadow Factory was never really going to called Doing It For The Publicity, by the way: that was a dig at Creation’s Doing It For The Kids with its one previously unavailable track…
