Do you remember those party bags you’d sometimes receive after a birthday party when you were a kid? Mie Records’ releases remind me of them. They’re full of lots of papers, stories, pictures, a record and a CD. The hand-made quality of the designs is a delight, it feels personal and special, more like a present from a friend.
Here’s what label boss HJ Tadros has to say: The two bands on my label take great pride in making their covers and artwork, usually screen printed onto old record covers or recycled paper and then hand painting on top of it. Trouble Books and Talons’ are a group of friends from Akron, Ohio We do the releases in pretty small runs, 100, 150, 50 and 50 respectively. www.myspace.com/miemusicuk |
Now this is DIY at its finest.
