Stiff Records’ 50th birthday! – the farcical magnificent record label and why we adored it
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

Stuff, nonsense, the white heat of debate and yesterday’s news today! Which this week involves …

 

… which of these didn’t host a TV chat show – Ian Botham, Charlotte Church, Lily Allen or Harold Wilson?

 

… if you’d paid £102 to see two-thirds of the Fugees show up an hour late, wouldn’t you SCREAM for a refund?

 

… Britain’s most rock’n’roll hotel and why the idea of “excess” seems purely American

 

… Dave and Stephane Grappelli at the Sunset Marquis

 

… Reversing Into Tomorrow! We Came, We Saw, We Left! The genius of Stiff Records, “the Motown of Bayswater”, and the oddballs and misfits they signed

 

… “there are only two types of record demand: too little and too much”

 

… “Artistic breakthrough, the first double B-side!” The single that started the Indie boom

 

… and why naked ballet doesn’t work.
