“Just listening to a pre-release copy of Red Guitars extended 2023 remix of ‘Good Technology.’ And I don’t believe what I’ve heard. By a country mile, one of the greatest pieces of music I’ve heard in YEARS.” London Peaky
They are selling fast – good job we saved a box for Saturday’s launch gig!
In 1983 we went into Fairview Studio, owned by Keith Herd, where we recorded all our singles and album Slow to Fade. This was so exciting for all of us – a life changing time. Yesterday, 40 years on we had a lovely afternoon with Keith – a great catch up over pizza and cake in his garden in the sunshine. Here we are in Keith’s mastering studio, where we listened to music and looked through the original 1983 studio diary.
Whenever anyone in the music biz wanted to meet up we always invited them up to Hull. We spotted visits from Arista and Brian Morrison & Dick Leahy in the diary. Needless to say we weren’t impressed by any of them. The 40th anniversary remix of Good Technology is released on our own Self Drive label.

Back in the day of our first releases vinyl and was just called ‘records’ and without the internet the world seemed a much smaller place. Finding one of our records for sale in any record shop was exciting, so we were thrilled to find out we had a whole section to ourselves in the legendary Recycled Records store in San Francisco.

“This photo was taken at my old place of employment. The shop was in San Francisco California. It was called Recycled Records. I worked there for two decades plus. Located on the “historical” Haight Street. Ground zero for the hippie movement. It’s also happens to be where I live. A stones throw from the “legendary” intersection of Haight & Ashbury. I played the R G records many times over those twenty years.” Michael Boul
The iconic Recycled Records opened in 1977 and bought and sold collectibles for 40 years. Sadly, the shop closed in 2017, but they still trade online and you can find it here.
Thanks to Bernice for taking the photo of Red Guitars in Recycled Records for us, and to Michael for giving us a spin in SF.
