Postcard Recordings is a Glasgow-based independent record label founded by Alan Horne in 1979. It was to prove a key influence on the C81 and the later C86 indie-pop movements.



Postcard Records is a Glasgow-based independent record label founded by Alan Horne in 1979 as a vehicle for Orange Juice and Josef K releases.

The label's motto was "The Sound of Young Scotland", a parody/tribute to the Motown motto; its logo featured a cartoon cat beating a drum.
Although short-lived, Postcard was to prove a key influence on the C81 and the later C86 indie-pop movements.

The label's first release was Orange Juice's Falling and Laughing which was jointly financed by Horne and band members Edwyn Collins and bassist David McClymont and was released in the spring of 1980.

The label went on to sign such bands as Aztec Camera and The Go-Betweens, before going bust in 1981. Horne resuscitated Postcard in 1992, and it continues to release records.

    interesting snippet- i bought a 7" of 'simply thrilled honey' a couple of weeks ago from a guy who works for channel 4 in glasgow. apparently it was given to him by a guy called ian bourgoyne (who used to be in a band with paul quinn), and he'd been given the record by roddy frame. howzat for amazingness?

    I'm just wondering if any of you guys have any unreleased or rare stuff from the Postcard-bands? I would be very glad to trade some! I'm always searching for stuff like unreleased early Orange Juice, Anything rare by Josef K and most of all, I'm looking for early unreleased Aztec Camera. Pre-High Land, Hard Rain. Anything from the planned-but-never-released album Green Jacket Grey. I got both Postcard-singles but also a killer tune called "The Spirit Shows" from 1981 and a live version of the Joy Division-esque "Real Tears" from 1980.

    this music is so incredible. if someone came along now and took influence from these bands (franz ferdinand aside), they could create something wonderful.
