CAPTAIN TRIP RECORDS

 
 
Captain Trip Records  es un sello musical Japonés fundado y dirigido por el músico Ken Matsutani.  La disquera se especializa en música experimental y diversos subgéneros del rock, particularmente en el rock psicodélico y progresivo.  Sumado a la publicación de nuevos álbumes, también se ha abocado a la re-edición de discos fuera de impresión y clásicos del estilo, además de material antiguo inédito.  (More from Spanish Wikipedia – translation available)
 
 
Over a 25-year time span, as recounted on his website, www.andycolquhoun.comAndy Colquhoun had been in numerous bands in addition to hanging out with Mick Farren and the Deviants.  From this body of work, he pieced together his first solo album in 2001Pick up the Phone, America!.  The album came out on a Japanese label, Captain Trip Records.  (If the name sounds vaguely familiar, Captain Trips was the name of the deliberately mutated influenza virus that laid waste to the world at the beginning of the Stephen King epic novel The Stand).  Between Captain Trip and the Bomp! Records label Total Energy, virtually the entire Deviants/Mick Farren catalogue is now happily back in print.

The tape was thought to be lost for many years but later turned up in a box, marked “Dingwalls”; the complete tape of the concert was released as Wayne Kramer – Live at Dingwalls 1979 on Captain Trip Records in 2001.

The Deviants along with Wayne Kramer returned to Dingwalls in 1984, and a record of this concert called Human Garbage was released on CD – mine is the 1997 reissue on Captain Trip Records.
