RECORDS
Recommended Records was An arm of Chris Cutler's 'Re' Records, devoted to material which didn't feature Cutler himself either solo or in collaborations. Recommended started out in 1978 as a mail-order service but soon developed into a label. Like its parent, it leaned towards unusual / Avant Garde material. Although its first releases appeared in 1979 the vast majority of them came in the 1980s. It concentrated on albums, but it was responsible for a few 7" records, one of which came out in 1979. The record in question was an EP, 'Extracts From Faust Party 3', containing two tracks by German group Faust, 'Extract 1' and 'Extract 4'. It had a catalogue number of RR One Point Five, and it appeared in four different forms in 1979-80. The another two extracts were issued in 1980. Early Recommended records seem to have been given blank or handwritten labels; the 1979 Faust EP had a green one on one side and a red one on the other, as the scans show. The Recommended label was combined with Re in the 1990s to form the ReR Megacorp, which is still going today. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
