Walnut Tree Records established in 2007 and closed in 2012, was a British independent record label which specialised in limited run releases from new and upcoming bands from around the United Kingdom. ==History== Walnut Tree Records started life as 'The Walnut Tree' in July 2006, a small scale per-zine and CD distribution business. In an interview with AlterThePress.com〔http://www.alterthepress.com/2009/11/interview-tom-beck-of-walnut-tree.html〕 Beck stated that he 'was working on a different genre of music in his full-time job and was falling out of love with music a little' and wanted to find a way to change that. After reading a positive review of The Wonder Years and Bangarang split EP on Punktastic.com Beck contacted The Wonder Years directly to ask if he could import their CD and sell it to potential fans in the UK. This was followed by releases from the likes of Valencia and Four Year Strong, all of which were without a distribution deal in the UK at the time. The Walnut Tree gained a reputation as somewhere to buy cheap releases from up and coming bands and allowed Beck to build up a small network of frequent buyers. After complications with a release Beck decided to focus on helping unsigned UK bands, founding Walnut Tree Records in July 2007. The label initially co-financed releases with Pep Rock Records and No Order Records, before then taking full control of releases from March 2008. Walnut Tree Records released 27 records over 5 years, distributing a further 15 in the same period. The label was closed in August 2012. 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「Walnut Tree Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
