FABLED LABELS


CHERRY RED RECORDS Founded 1978


Key Artists: Dead Kennedys, The Runaways, The Monochrome Set


Founded in 1978 by Iain McNay and Richard Jones, Cherry Red’s early roster included releases by keyboard player Morgan Fisher as well as material licensed from The Hollywood Brats, Destroy All Monsters and The Runaways. In 1979, McNay invested $10,000 in the recording of the debut studio


album by San Franciscan political punk band Dead Kennedys, Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables. It became the label’s first and only Top 40 album, selling over a million copies worldwide. Mike Alway was then recruited as head of A&R and brought in a mass of


new signings including The Monochrome Set, Everything But The Girl, Eyeless in Gaza, Felt and Five Or Six. Budget compilation album Pillows & Prayers (costing 99p) compiled by


Alway and released at Christmas in 1982, topped the independent charts for several weeks. It also won the label its first major award as the Best Catalogue Release at the 2008 Mojo Honours. Cherry Red moved into the reissue market from the late 80s onwards,


where the label remains positioned. McNay estimates that Cherry Red puts out between 40 and 50 albums each month and sells around 750,000 albums a year.


Did you know? McNay is a fan and director of AFC Wimbledon and Cherry Red boasts a large catalogue of football-related songs.
