A Big Frock Rekord

History
A Big Frock Rekord was created in 1980 by Dave Ball and Marc Almond for Soft Cell's first, self-produced record – Mutant Moments. The main reason to make a DIY EP was that established record labels like Mute and Rough Trade haven't showed interest in duo's demo tapes. The name of the label came from Liz, clothes designer student and then girlfriend of Huw Feather, Almond's friend and future Soft Cell art director, – a manequin in a dress with big frock was standing in front of her when she was asked how to name new independent label.

Shortly after release of Mutant Moments, Stevo noticed Soft Cell and signed them to his new record label Some Bizzare, thus A Big Frock Rekord was left behind.

The label was resurrected in 2018 with Club Remixes EP, in the wake of Soft Cell's 40th anniversary and series of retrospective releases. A completely new recording under the label – ‘sequel’ EP Magick Mutants, followed in 2019.

Since 2020 A Big Frock Rekord is used for Dave Ball releases and Soft Cell reissues as well.
