  the bogely factory


A fiercly independent experimental cassette label from middlesbrough, UK, 1983-96.

In the days when 'success' was a dirty word,they avoided the music business at all costs allowing total freedom to release bands like Ball, Bill and his Incredibly Small Penis,Jimmy Linklater and the Plastic Forks, the Disciples ov Wigwam, the Angels ov Wigwam and nature boy.
With tape manipulations pre-dating the sampler, techno pre-dating acidhouse, alternative joke books pre-dating Vic and Bob and red noses pre-dating Comic Relief. dadaist electronics, whiskey drinking hillbillies, hippy love cults and 8-bit house.
Their music and performances were often on the edge of decency shocking audiences and venue owners, resulting in being banned from venues and occasionally punched.

13 years of poverty and madness, they wouldn't have had it any other way!

'Ball-Restricted Entertainment' (available from most digital stores) is a 3 track single taken from their debut cassette album 'Ball-For all Round Entertainment' (1983)
(which is over-due for a limited CDR release at some point!)
