Fried Egg Records was founded in 1979 , by former Crystal Theatre guitarist
Andy Leighton and , in its brief life , captured perfectly the post-punk
Bristol era . Soul , funk , swing and poetry were the order of the day , and
the Art Objects were its epitome , with future Blue Aeroplane Gerard Langley
(who also contributes sleevenotes to this collection "Fried Egg Records-The
Best Of 1979-1980 , Sugar Shack Rec. FOD 017 , 06.2000") on vocal.
A band called Various Artists were a little more palatable delivering
pleasant pop/new wave work-out like "Original Mixed-up Kid" and other Fried
Egg notables included Stingrays , Shoes For Industry and the Wild Beasts.
