English Electric Recordings has served for many years as Big Big Train’s own label and is now developing its roster beyond the band itself. In 2020 the label expanded to release two highly acclaimed albums: Between A Breath And A Breath by Dyble Longdon, a collaboration between Big Big Train vocalist David Longdon and the late Judy Dyble, and Invisible, a solo album from Big Big Train drummer Nick D’Virgilio. Most recently the label has released Empire, a Blu-ray/two-CD set commemorating the final show of Big Big Train’s debut UK tour in November 2019 at the Hackney Empire in London.
English Electric Recordings has exciting plans for the next few years. These include a series of regular Big Big Train releases, including a reissue of the band’s 2009 breakthrough album, The Underfall Yard, which has been fully remixed and will feature bonus material, as well as a new BBT studio album, both due in 2021. The company will also release further albums by members of BBT and intends to very selectively release music by artists not affiliated to the band.
The label prioritises quality over quantity; it doesn’t aim to release numerous albums annually. Instead, its mission is to focus on a handful of releases, each of which is lovingly created and beautifully packaged. English Electric Recordings’ official store is Burning Shed and partners with Plane Groovy for vinyl and RSK for distribution.
