Some Bizzare

Profile:
British label that had its heyday in the early/mid 1980s with releases by The The, Soft Cell, Psychic TV, Coil, Cabaret Voltaire, Test Dept. and other electronic/industrial artists.

In addition to releasing records on their own, Some Bizzare also acted as a licensing agent for various artists, contracting their releases to different labels in the UK and around the world including Virgin, CBS, PolyGram/Vertigo and Epic. These licensed releases (i.e. those that don't have a Some Bizzare catalog number started with BIZ, BART, etc...) should be entered under the licensing label where applicable.

The label was notorious for not paying, artists such as Einstürzende Neubauten and Coil publicly criticized them for this.

Review by aeternox Apr 01, 2004
This label ripped off and continues to rip off Einsturzende Neubauten and other artists. So says Blixa Bargeld, EN frontman. If you want to support EN, buy the re-issues of these cd's on the Potomak label. Otherwise EN won't receive a cent/penny/etc. And the Potomak cd's are remastered: better audio quality.
