all of this stuff is sold
out but not too hard to find if you look around:
FE
32.5: SUFFER / URKO - EP
1998
- 3000
copies - co-release with enslaved
"URKO
first, pulverising, manic and raging brutal hardcore to the bone. URKO
take you, shake you, leave you quivering and wanting more. . Superb
quality and it's a real pleasure just to freak out to this. Two of their
own and a remake of Y.O.T's "I have Faith" where URKO correct it with
having no faith and a pessimistic view of things. Awesome stuff. SUFFER:
way out ballistic hardcore that will surely fuck with your brain. .
Another amazing 7" of un-adulterated hardcore mayhem on Enslaved/Flat
Earth. Everyone reading this send your money to these guys, they are
what hardcore is all about. Long
may it live. Brutal hardcorepunk for the millenium." Fracture

FE 31: SCATHA : 'Birth Life
and Death' LP (1997
- 2000 copies
)
My
favourite SCATHA record, continuing where their 1st LP left off.
FE
27: DOOM / CRESS 'TEN INCH' (1997
- 3000 copies)
A
benefit for the Mc Libel Campaign, and only release on Flat Earth featuring
one of my guitar solos! (you should be glad).
FE
25: EBOLA 'Imprecation' EP
(1997 - 3000 copies)
My
favourite EBOLA slab, and a debut for Nick Enslaved , a highly opinionated
band who crammed more into this 7 inch than most bands fit onto an LP.
FE
24: CRESS 'MONUMENTS' LP (1997
- 2500 copies)
After the chaos of HEADACHE this was easy to put out!
much respect to Jacko and Bri for making it happen , and Gam for cover
folding.
re-issued as part of a CRESS discography CD, vinyl version on Skuld
recs of Germany.
FE
23: HEADACHE ' LP (1996
- 1000copies)
This was a total bloody headache alright! The artwork
took years! and they decided they should re-record it all, this was
after I'd gone and done a test pressing and everything - it was all
worth it in the end though, a truly amazing and unique package that
features a board game and action figures! discography Cd out now on
LIFE IS ABUSE recs u.s.
FE
22.5: LOS CRUDOS 'Canciones Para Liberar
Nuestras Fronteras' LP (1996 - 4500copies)
One of 3 or 4 editions of this Lp released around
the world, out in time for their one and only european tour, an
honour it was to be a part of this project as CRUDOS were one of the,
if not THE most important hardcore punk bands of the 1990's
FE
22: WITCHKNOT "Squawk" LP (1996 -
1000 copies)
Fantastic LP - the crust kids didn't get it, thoroughly
missing the point. 6 women armed with cello's violins and dustbin lids
are way more punk than most spiky male shouters!
FE
21.1: DDI - Ten Inch (1000 copies)
A Collaboration with about 10 other labels, international
co-operation! We had 100 copies. Crazy Italians who Doom toured with
over there. Long since split up but Mila is active doing AGI
PUNK records
FE
21: DOOM"Rush Hour of the Gods" LP
/ CD (4500 / 2000 copies)
Our first CD release! DOOM were a pretty popular band
and I appreciate their faith in me. I think we helped to prove that
DIY doesn't have to be crap!
FE

EP
but after 5 years of waiting for artwork I gave up and
returned the tapes
FE 19:
EBOLA "Incubation " LP (3000 copies)
Blew me away at their debut gig, originally to be
a 7" but we thought fuck it, record the lot!
Covers printed on 13 inch record mailers, and hand screened - the last
'stupid' cover for f.e!
FE

FE 15 : HEADACHE / RECUSANT
SPLIT EP (2000 copies) '94

scene of the time.

FE
12.5 : SEDITION / PINK TURDS IN SPACE SPLIT LP
(2000 made (plus 1000 on 'Real to Real') '90 / '94)
Originally released by the bands on
the 'Real to Real' label back in 1990, after rescuing a load of those
copies from damp kitchens and closets in Belfast and Glasgow we went
on and re-pressed it, a total classic that shouldn't be an obscurity
and money raised went to repay Tony, who'd financed a lot of aborted
punk rock projects, and needed his money back.
FE
12 : SEDITION / DISAFFECT SPLIT EP
(2000 copies)
In which each band covers each other's songs as well
as a few new ones.
FE 11: UNHINGED

FE
08 : SEDITION
'Earthbeat' LP (3500 made - 1000 in Hessian

the other half in eck's lungs. Our first full LP release, and an LP
that had to happen.
FE

BY ONE "Fight" 7" EP (2000

FE

BY ONE 'World on Fire' 7" EP
(2000 made in autumn

Me, Micky (fellow flat earth founder) and Alec
(went on to help run the label for the following half a decade) doing
the power trio thing. Alec traded this and built the distro up while
I was in New Zealand for half a year considering emigation. When I returned
in spring 92 we'd made our minds up to take the label / distro / band
thing on full time!
