Slammin' Vinyl

Profile:
Slammin' Vinyl was created in 1992 by Grant Smith and Paul Rooney to release their own music. Now Slammin' Vinyl is not only a record label but also a record shop and a rave event organisation. They also release tape packs from their events as well as compilation albums featuring Hardcore, Old Skool and Drum & Bass.

The label was also known as Radioactive Recordings which explains the RAR catalogue numbers and the radiation symbol logo.

The majority of Slammin Vinyl's 12" releases contain a telephone number on the label-artwork, which is a good indicator to spot, wether the release is an original pressing or a repress. Because the telephone codes for the London area have been changed twice since the early 1990s.

Area codes on the releases:
0850 ...: --> released before April 1995
0181 ...: --> released before April 2000
020 ....: --> released after April 2000

Review by barticle Jul 24, 2003
Red Alert and Mike Slammer released some of the greatest tracks from the 1993-94 era of breakbeat hardcore on their own Slammin' Vinyl label, typically featuring ruff breaks, uplifting piano-lines, dub riffs and one or two bits blatantly lifted from earlier dance tunes. :) In later years the label also released happy hardcore anthems Rushin' On Pink Champagne and Eye Opener and to this day Slammin' still organize some of the biggest raves in Britain.

If you want a handy introduction to the label's classic early output then look out for the unmixed SV compilation CD's on Rumour Records and Gumh Recordings and for the 'Old Skool Collection' mix-CD that came free with Fast Car magazine in 2001 (all three are listed on Discogs).
