TOO PURE
RECORDS
Independent label: Too Pure is a London-based independent record label that was
formed in 1990 by Richard Roberts and Paul Cox. Too Pure started off as a small
experimental label and built their reputation by releasing primarily
alternative/independent music which they felt was being ignored by the major
labels. On 7 July 2008, it was announced on its Web site that Too Pure "is no
more" and that "the artists currently on those labels will be released through
4AD," yet it will continue operating its Too Pure Singles Club. Too Pure is
affiliated closely with the Beggars Group and from 1998 was run by Jason White,
formerly of Foundry Records. In 2010 Too Pure Records ceased releasing albums
and relaunchedas the TOO PURE SINGLES CLUB (start PURE S 209) with the aim of
releasing a new 7" single every month. All releases are limited to just 500
hand-numbered copies , the're not made available on download services and are
also deleted on the day of release. Furthermore each release comes with its own
design. Distributed By ATP and Rough
Trade Records.
