Fierce Panda also had released compilation albums and EPs, whose titles are mainly puns, often in-jokes. In 2006 they announced their decision to cease production of one-off singles, concentrating instead on long-term projects and full-length albums. Dead Disco's 2006 single "Automatic" was announced as the final single. Continuing to release albums however, including "Vivian, Don't" by The Spinto Band, and the debut album from Hatcham Social among many others. On 21 March 2011, the label released the debut album, ''Chasing After Ghosts'', by The Crookes.

Fierce Panda's highest-charting single was "Emily Kane" by Art Brut, which reached number 41 in May 2005, missing out on the Top 40 by a mere two sales. 2008 saw Fierce Panda set up its management stable which currently includes Albert Gold, Hatcham Social, Longfellow and Felt Tip.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Management )〕 In 2012 Fierce Panda also set up a publishing arm, named Fierce Panda Songs. == See also == * List of record labels * List of independent UK record labels * List of Fierce Panda Records compilation albums * List of bands signed to Fierce Panda Records 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fierce Panda Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
