Pete Paphides and his cockapoo pal
We all have favourite albums that somehow escaped platinum- selling status, whether by the
band whose record label never quite knew how to market them or the acclaimed singer whose change of direction puzzled their audience. While most of us grudgingly accept the great lost album is inevitable, music journalist Pete Paphides and label manager Will Harris are determined to rectify this with Needle Mythology, a new record company devoted to showcasing both previously ignored albums in otherwise respected careers and the acts that never made it at all. All its albums have either never been released on vinyl, or only in negligible numbers.
