10 OF THE BEST This pic, containing just a couple of industry legends, was recently taken at The BBC Club - where 10cc’s Graham Gouldman showcased tracks from his forthcoming solo album Love & Work, his first solo album for 12 years. Gouldman also treated the packed BBC Club to the classic 10cc hits Bus Stop, No Milk Today and Dreadlock Holiday, plus the first hit he ever wrote, For Your Love.

FABLED LABELS be g g ars banq u e t


Founded 1977 Key Artists: The Strokes, Ramones, Gary Numan


Originally owned by Martin Mills and Nick Austin, Beggars Banquet started off as a chain of record shops in the early seventies. In 1977, inspired by the punk rock DIY trends of the time, the record chain made the move into the indie label scene and started to release records under the Beggars Banquet imprint. The first band on the label was English punk group The Lurkers; and the


first ever release was The Lurkers' Shadow/Love Story 7" single. Later in the decade, the now Gold certified Replica by Gary Numan’s Tubeway Army secured a No. 1 spot and the labels future. They have since released music by Biffy


Clyro, Buffalo Tom, The Charlatans (pictured), The Cult, The Go-Betweens, The National and Tindersticks. In 2008 artists that remained on the


roster were shifted over to affiliate label, 4AD. The move was a starting point for what became known as The Beggars Group, now the largest and most influential independent


family of labels in Europe. The Beggars family in 2012 now includes 4AD, Matador Records, Rough


Trade Records and XL Recordings, and is run by Paul Redding , Andy Heath and Martin Mills - who has taken on day-to-day management of the label.


Did you know? In 2008, Beggars Banquet stopped signing new artists and became a catalogue-only label.
