Hardback Records was established in 1986, I wanted to model, Hardback after “Casablanca Records” back in the 1970s, they had no agenda, apart from putting out great records no matter what the genre, ending up with the biggest Rock act on the planet “KISS” and the biggest, Dance diva “Donna Summer”.

So over the years we have only released a record that we felt had its place, hence we have only released 18 singles & 3 Albums, in 2000 we released our last record “ Fierce ,Sweet Love” selling over 150,000 Records, hitting No 4 in the UK National Charts.

With only 19 singles released in 23 years Hardback is now a boutique record label by default with releases changing hands @ a collectors level.

In-between putting records out , Hardback signed Producer “Peter Lormier” working with such artists as Monie Love, Inxs , Happy Mondays, David Bowie, M People. In that time Hardback had the pleasure of working with, Pinnacle, Polydor, Streetsounds, Universal, WEA, Virgin, Rough Trade, A&M, RCA,SBK, Chrysalis, Telstar and EMI records.
