..The Orchids' biography by Alistair Fitchett, appearing on the sleeve notes of the LTM reissues, 2005:
A fair amount has been written about Sarah records in the past, most of it amounts to further mythologizing of a 'scene' that has really been counter-productive. I mean, myths and legends are central to the joys of Pop, but they do tend to cloud issues and often obscure great music. So it has been with Sarah, with a predilection amongst media and fans alike for painting the whole label as a home for quintessentially sad and sensitive indiekids in anoraks, crying at sunsets and cringing behind their fringes. Such a reading has certainly been detrimental to many of the bands who actually recorded records for the label, not least of whom would be The Orchids....

Not too late to get advance tickets for my shows coming up - including two tickets for £5 for my Birmingham gig (3 Nov). And remember I'm playing with Ebb at the ICA in London (9 Nov) - this is a very special performance and it would be great to see you there. /MaJiKer
