7. BigfootLocation Recordings

This is a 7" of field recordings of Bigfoot a label called Stomach Ache put out – a sort of secret side label to RRRecords where he would do a lot of really raw noise records and really goofy novelty records. This one that has this ridiculous drawing of Bigfoot on the cover, then it’s a collection of what were supposedly ‘real’ recordings people had made of Bigfoot – I believe it’s recordings from various documentaries – so it’s these really raw, hilarious recordings of Bigfoot. I thought it was the most hilarious record, but it also got me excited about sound effects records. I started collecting sound effects and animal sound records after getting that one.

There’s a label called Droll Yankees and they put out these great wildlife records where one side is just sounds of frogs and the other is the same thing but with narration. I took their layout for Hanson Records – the records I was putting out throughout the 2000s have these silkscreen covers with the flaps on the outside – I took a Droll Yankees record to the die-cutter and had them copy that template.
