Melody Maker with A Day For Destroying Things advert

Sarah Records Posted on February 11, 2015 by MattFebruary 12, 2015

Melody Maker with original A Day For Destroying Things advertI know we’ve posted the original A Day For Destroying Things advert elsewhere, but it’s also good to see it in its original context, so here’s a copy of Melody Maker from 26th August 1995. Big stories that week were clearly the release of another appalling record by Oasis, Babylon Zoo and True Noise, whose new single Hanging in Mid Air had just been issued by Blanc Records. You’re probably whistling it right now.

Artwork for SARAH 100 Party poster

Artwork for SARAH 100 Party poster

Back in the days before computer design (1995), all artwork was done as paste-ups; we’d enlarge or reduce text on the photocopier in Hatcher’s tobacconists in Clifton, stick it down and obscure the edges with white paint, then take the paste-up back to Hatcher’s to enlarge it to the right size. This poster was for use in Revolver Records (The Triangle) and Replay Records (St James Barton roundabout, by the bus station).

Sarah 100 newsletter

Sarah Records Posted on November 15, 2014 by MattJanuary 15, 2015

Sarah 100 newsletterTo announce the end of Sarah, the release of Sarah 100, and the end-of-Sarah party on the Thekla, we produced this newsletter – click to download a pdf! (6 pages, 4.2Mb – those of you with a keen interest in geometry and the four-times table might suspect that the original newsletter had 8 pages, and you’d be right; but the centrefold was a photo of Stewart Boyracer posing coquettishly in nothing but an apron from his baked potato stall, and that would have had to go the other way round on the scanner. Or possibly it was a discography, which isn’t really that interesting.)

The Sarah Obituary

Sarah Records Posted on October 15, 2014 by MattJanuary 15, 2015

Sarah Records ObituaryAt the start of 1996, we produced a very sombre (i.e. photocopied on a black and white copier) newsletter to let people know what had happened at the final Sarah party and to bring them up to date on some of the bands’ future plans. The obituary also announced the launch of Shinkansen Recordings and the birth of Trembling Blue Stars. Click to download a pdf (4 pages, 2.5Mb).

A Day For Destroying Things advert

Sarah Records Posted on January 13, 2014 by MattJune 13, 2015

A Day For Destroying Things advertWe took out half-page adverts in NME and Melody Maker to announce SARAH 100 and the end of Sarah. It was also the first time we’d used the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol’s most famous landmark, on artwork. Given the price of half-page ads, you’d think it would have stopped people saying we’d gone bust… sadly, it didn’t. Clare was nineteen when we started Sarah, in case you’re wondering.

Sarah was a Bristol-based independent record label, active between November 1987 and August 1995. This site was launched in 2015 to archive photos, press, posters and other artefacts; it’s a work in progress.
