BIG GRUNT PRODUCTIONS
RECORDS
Big Grunt Productions Records
was a DIY label. It's sole contrbution to the world of records was an
EP called 'Rock 'N' Roll Party' by Vince Grit & The Big Grunt. It was
made in order to advertise a Rock 'n' Roll party to be held on the 5th of
January 1973 at Barrowhill Hall, Rocester, Staffs. Music on the record is
limited to snatches of other people's records, including a few Bill Haley
tracks, a bit of the Beatles' 'Sergeant Pepper', and 'Crocodile Rock' by
Elton John (played backwards as well as in the right direction). The rest
is off-the-wall comedic links with a Goons / Monty Python air to them. The
EP came in a picture cover and dates from 1972. The matrix number in the
run-off was COUN-221, which indicates that the record was made through the
County Recording Service of Bracknell. There appears to be a connection to
the JCB firm: pictured on the back of the record, and presumably contributing to
it, are current chairman Anthony Bamford - now Lord Bamford - and director Tim
Leadbeater. Distributed By Big Grunt Productions Records. Thanks
