Welcome to my on-line tribute to the London based Chiswick label. Started in 1975 and, under various guises, still going strong to this day, Chiswick put out some of my favorite records ever. Here you'll find an ever growing collection of info, record sleeves, old advertisements and whatever comes to mind. So dig in and enjoy!

Another one-off deal, the Stukas were a great pop band from Muswell Hill, a skinny tie affair before it had a name.
This record also marked the debut of Ted Carroll as producer, too bad it ended right here as well with the legend "An Asleep At The Desk Production". The Stukas were managed by Jazz Summers, who later worked with Wham, sadly he seemed to be unable to lift the band to similar heights, 'cause after two more 45s for Sonet the band fizzled out. Tho' not before supporting New York's legendary Dictators at the Roundhouse and even a short tour of the Netherlands that falls somewhat outside their time with Chiswick, but when will I ever get another chance to show off this ticket for their show at the Pakhuis in Heerenveen?
And before I forget; Chiswick promoted the disc with a large number of bright red stickers (below).
