(TERRY FARLEY 1988)
THIS IS A FANSITE FOR THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND IMPORTANT RECORD LABELS AND PRODUCTION/REMIX OUTFITS OF THE EARLY 90'S. PRIOR TO BEING A RECORD LABEL, BOYS OWN STARTED OUT IN THE MID 1980'S SIMPLY AS A FANZINE, SET UP BY ANDREW WEATHERALL, TERRY FARLEY, CYMON ECCLES & STEVE MAYES. THE FANZINE MAINLY FEATURED JOKES, STUFF, FOOTBALL NONSENSE, LADS FASHION AND CLUB NEWS. IT WAS INFLUENCED BY A FOOTY FANZINE COMING OUT OF LIVERPOOL IN THE EARLY 80'S, 'THE END', WHICH WAS CO-EDITED BY A CERTAIN PETER HOOTON (THE FARM).
AROUND 1989 WEATHERALL STARTED DJ'ING AT DANNY RAMPLING'S SEMINAL LONDON CLUB SHOOM AND AS ACID HOUSE/BALEARICA WAS TAKING HOLD, HE WAS ASKED TO REMIX PRIMAL SCREAM'S 'LOADED' AND HAPPY MONDAYS 'HALLELUJAH'. AROUND THE SAME TIME, TERRY FARLEY WAS ASKED TO REMIX THE FARM'S HITS INCLUDING 'STEPPIN STONE' & 'GROOVY TRAIN'. THESE REMIXES AND PRODUCTIONS WERE CREDITED TO 'BOYS OWN'. IT WAS THIS INITIAL SUCCESS AND THE BACKING OF LONDON RECORDS THAT 'BOYS OWN PRODUCTIONS' WAS SET UP IN AUGUST 1990.
THE FIRST RELEASE WAS BOCCA JUNIORS, (WEATHERALL/FARLEY/NICOLSON/HELLER) 'RAISE (63 STEPS TO HEAVEN)', THE THRASHING DOVES SAMPLING PIANO ANTHEM WAS AN INSTANT EARLY IBIZA/BALEARIC ANTHEM.
THE LABEL CONTINUED TO GROW AND HAD AN IMPRESSIVE ROSTER OF ACTS & DJ'S INCLUDING DARREN PRICE, DARREN EMERSON, ROCKY & DIESEL (X-PRESS 2), UNDERWORLD & ONE DOVE.
SADLY AND PERHAPS BECAUSE HE HAD DIFFERENT PROJECTS TO PURSUE WEATHERALL 'FUCKED OFF FIRST...' - ACCORDING TO STEVE HALL, AND SET UP HIS OWN BAND AND LABEL SABRES OF PARADISE.
BOYS OWN PRODUCTIONS NO LONGER EXISTS AS THE NAME OF THE LABEL. IT NOW OPERATES UNDER THE NAME JUNIOR (LONDON) AND ALSO STILL USE'S JBO (JUNIOR BOYS OWN) AS A LOGO ON MORE COMMERCIAL RELEASES. THE BOYS OWN TEAM ARE STILL BANGING OUT THE HOUSE & CLUB ANTHEMS WITH A NEW BREED OF ARTISTS.
