There were so many new bands in late 1980 that I decided to put together a new artist album and use the proceeds to record a few. - which we did.
This had a nice Terry Hogan sleeve, which got widely bootlegged on T-shirts, although we sold a fair few of our own. The album launched many of the bands who made an impact in the next year or two.
It only sold a few thousand and has never, despite intent, ended up on CD, but was immensely influential and its story is told here.
There is a chance that a reissue will eventuate.

| REV 202: Blam Blam Blam - Blam Blam Blam | |
| March 1982 (Festival cat # L20012. Vinyl only.) | |

The Australians wanted to combine the two Blams releases to date (REV 10 & REV11) so it made sense for us to do the same and compile a mini album, which we did, releasing it in New Zealand using Australian pressings.

| REV 203: The Screaming Meemees - If This Is Paradise I'll Take The Bag | |
| June 26, 1982 (Festival cat #s L 37415 & L 37681) Also on cassette (REC 203 / C 37415) | |
| A: Your Accent | |
| A2: Days Of Heaven | |
| A3: Day Goes By | |
| A4: Hardly Moved By It | |

| B5: Miro Miro | |
| Recorded at Harlequin Studios, Auckland, November 1981- May 1982. Produced by Ian Morris, Engineered By Steve Kennedy. Artwork by Peter Urlich. Photography by Kerry Brown. |
The debut and only Screaming Meemees album. It reached number eight on the album chart.
The album was extraordinarily well produced by the late Ian Morris in some very uproarious sessions and has held up over the years developing a reputation as a post-punk masterpiece. It was remastered by Alan Jansson in 2009.
The critical response internationally (and especially from the US where Trouser Press and a raft of others loved the album) was uniformly positive.

| REV 204: Blam Blam Blam - Luxury Length | |
| May 31, 1982 (Festival cat #s L 37414 & L 37682). Also on cassette (REC 204 / C 37414) | |
| A1: Talkback King | |

| B3: Businessmen | |
| B4: Pensioner Love (Featuring Dick Driver) | |
| B5: Call For Help (Featuring Ivan Zagni) | |
| B6: Last Post | |
| Recorded at Harlequin Studios, Auckland, October 1981 to March 1982. Produced by Blam Blam Blam and Paul Streekstra, Engineered By Doug Rogers and Paul Streekstra. Track B1 originally recorded by Roy Thomas Baker, remixed by Paul Streekstra and Blam Blam Blam. Artwork by John Reynolds. |
The debut Blams (there was a live album on Propeller / CBS too in '84) album. It reached number two on the chart and was a gold album.
The original John Reynolds artwork was stolen from Festival Records warehouse by a Festival staff member and remains missing.
A varied and rather pleasing album that is something of a New Zealand classic. The first sessions were produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen's producer) who made the band sound like Foreigner - they were remixed thank god. The planned UK release of this, on Virgin, was under negotiation when the band had their van crash and split, so it sadly never eventuated. .

| REV 205 : The Birthday Party - Junkyard | |
| November, 1982 (Festival cat # L 37419) | |
| A1: She's Hit | |
| A2: Dead Joe | |
| A3: The Dim Locator | |

| B1: Big-Jesus-Trash-Can | |
| B2: Kiss Me Black | |

| B4: Kewpie Doll | |
| B5: Junkyard | |
| All tracks recorded at A.A.V. Melbourne, except tracks B2, B4 recorded at Matrix London, December 1981 to February 1982. Produced by The Birthday Party. Recorded by Tony Cohen and Richard Mazda. Artwork by Neville Brody and (front cover) Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth. |
We released the second and third Birthday Party albums in NZ (and co-toured them). They had great reviews, and it was a buzz to actually get them out in NZ, but lousy sales. This sold virtually nothing despite it's now classic status and initially Festival declined to distribute this album as they thought they were, to quote, "rubbish" - .thanks Victor.
As the pre-release reviews came out, they relented.

A timely compilation of the early Propeller singles which sold fairly well. A terrible sleeve, by me, but the music worked and it sold very well.
First 500 copies came in a black and white sleeve with no wording on the front.

More a mini album than a full album. A fairly avant garde release which some Blam's followers found a bit difficult.
Another John Reynolds sleeve, which lost some of the letraset on the way to the printers. It sold very well though. Never on CD.

A live album and rough as can be - but that was the whole point.
Festival didn't appreciate the skinheads designing and laying out the sleeve in their foyer during a retailers conference either.
The final track was an alternative national anthem which was massive live and a huge student radio hit.

The sequel to Class Of 81 - a compilation album of new bands put together with Radio B's managment. The album was far more experimental than its predecessor with several tracks representing the wave of new electronica sweeping Auckland - a direction Propeller would likely have followed if I hadn't wound it down.
The cover was lifted off a Wolf Cubs book I owned and was an homage to the legendary Terence Hogan who defined post-punk sleeve design in the earloy 1980s in Auckland. The first few hundred were pink with black drawing and lettering.

| Re-mastered at Mandrill Studios, Auckland, June / July 1988 by Roland Morris. Artwork by Chad Taylor / Thermostat. Liner notes by Murray Cammick, Harry Ratbag, Barry Jenkins, Colin Hogg and Simon Grigg. Compiled by Simon Grigg with Simon Baeyertz. |
A collection of New Zealand indie singles released between 1979-82. Thirty important and timeless tracks from all the indie labels of the time. I was inspired by the great Australian sixties compilation 'So You Wanna Be a Rock'n'Roll Star'.
Artwork by Chad Taylor and compiled with assistance Simon B from Festival. A set that defined an era rather well if I say so myself.

| Sleeve by Simon Grigg. Compiled (I think) by Victor Stent and some bozo in Sydney. |
Festival Australia picked up their option and got it wrong - what a mess. I sat in the Sydney boardroom and was told "we've handled punk rock before" as they pointed to Joe Jackson on the wall. They recompiled this with the wrong tracks, wrong mixes and didn't ask.
The first I knew of it was when I arrived in Sydney.

As the title says, everything, bar one track which the band didn't want to include.
The sleeve was compiled from posters etc but could've benefited from more information, however it was the band's call.
Reverted to Blams ownership in 2002. I didn't have to, and I guess could be described as nuts but I gave all masters back to them.

The classic New Zealand punk collection, re-compiled, expanded and remastered.
Essentially a Propeller release but put out as a joint venture with Flying Nun. I left Terry Hogan's original, classic, sleeve design credit off the reissue accidentally - so 'Original Sleeve Design by Terence Hogan'.
Released via Festival but picked up by Warners when they bought FMR.

The Soundtrack to the TV Series "Give It a Whirl-New Zealand Rock'n'Roll Stories". The two CDs attempted to give a wider view of NZ music history than is often portrayed.
Unfortunately, out of our control, the second part of the second CD was rather badly watered down which weakened the package somewhat.
