Hi all- What a fantastic start to the release of Nigel of Bermondsey's wonderful cover of the Inspiral Carpet's This Is How It Feels. With amazing radio support already from XFM, Absolute Radio, BBC Radio 2, Music Week, Artrocker, BBC Radio Ulster, West FM, Forest of Dean Radio and many more. Thanks everyone. Full press click here: Nigel_Full Press
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS - Released 22nd June 2009
“Nigel’s version of This Is How It Feels is a truly wonderful interpretation. He has given the song a completely new energy, more delicate and less urgent than it’s original. Strip away the electricity and there it is… the mysterious little kitchen sink drama I put together 20 years ago. Thanks Nigel, it’s lovely."Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets) ..................................................................................
If you get a chance, please also keep an eye out for the awesome June 2009 issue of SHINDIG magazine, which features a three page article on the fantastic Margo Guryan, who we had the pleasure of releasing her superb satire 16 Words, back in 2007 as a CD and digital download. Please click here or on images below for more info.

We are really chuffed by the attention we have to begun to receive for Nigel and for the label more generally and thank you all for your continued support. I am not going to beat around the bush, but it is really tough running a small wholly independent label in the UK at the moment.
A funny report from the PRS indicated that the filesharers were just stealing the same music that they were being marketed to by the big major labels - talk about sheep leading the blind! There is so much great independent music out there, but you have to look for it. Please continue to buy Independent music so that we can keep taking the fight to the majors and finally open up the airwaves to a whole variety of new music, and not just music with huge marketing budgets from the major labels.
Cheers

"So, with its varied music
agenda and artist-friendly policy, Pure Mint Recordings looks
set to smash it in the new year" (Notion Magazine
- Jan05)
"...a new label that's having
a go at re-writing the rulebook" (DJ)
"....it's a label that aims
to develop new talent" (Blues & Soul)
"Mint Source Recordings; the
eclectic new label with a revolutionary approach to artist
deals…." (MUSIC WEEK)
"…the members of the
very new independent London label Mint Source were discussing
freely in the VIP room of the Martinez, their first and perfect
compilation: A Hint of Mint" (LES INROCKS)
Congratulations to Titus and the Carbon Fools for their gig/festival
recently in Budapest and for the fist airing of the MOSQUITO
video on Hungarian national television. Congratulations also
to Tilos Radio Budapest (the radio station the Carbon Fools’
track "TILOS.S.O.S" on the Hint of Mint vinyl is all
about…..), which now has an FM licence. Excellent news!
The Carbon Fools "Mosquito" video (by the way) is
a work of genius…. and presciently current!, but then
I have come to expect no less from David.
