Profile

A one shot label created for the Toiling Midgets release, manufactured and distributed by Rough Trade US/Systematic Distribution of Berkeley, CA. "The first Midgets album, “Sea of Unrest,” was to have been the first release by the US branch of Rough Trade, which had opened in Berkeley in 1980 in collaboration with Systematic. The London honchos vetoed it on the grounds that it was too damn good. It was then merely manufactured and distributed by RT under the label name, Instant." - Rob Carducci
