Stiff Records Redirected from Stiff records
The Stiff Records record label was created at the height of the punk boom. Stiff billed themselves as The World's Most Flexible Record Label. The label had a lot of attitude. Other slogans were "We came. We saw. We left." and "If it ain't Stiff it ain't worth a f*ck."
Barney Bubbles was responsible for the graphic art associated with Stiff Records.
Although Stiff had the punk reputation, it hosted a wide variety of players. Stiff Records artists include:
- Elvis Costello, angry young rocker
- Ian Dury and the Blockheads, blend of jazz and pub rock, creators of rock and roll anthem "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll"
- Wreckless Eric[?], wry pub rocker
- Kirsty McColl
- Madness, ska and more
- Tracey Ullman, over the top pop
- Larry Wallis[?], on his own and with the Pink Fairies[?] and the first version of Motorhead.
- Richard Hell and The Damned, punk to be sure
- Nick Lowe, "Looking for love in the heart of the city"
- Sean Tyla[?] and the Tyla Gang, early power pop
- Plasmatics
