Cher Doll Records

Cher Doll started out as a seven-inch singles-only label associated with Ostrander's Hip Clown Rag fanzine.

The label also recorded for Blanket, a Seattle band inspired by Spacemen 3 and the Velvet Underground whose members went on to play in Sno*Boy and Tullycraft.

"[2] In 1994, Cher Doll also released Neutral Milk Hotel's "Up and Over" on the compilation 7-inch EP The Amazing Phantom Third Channel; Mangum wrote it to resolve his fear and confusion.

[2] The band's "Invent Yourself a Shortcake", released by Cher Doll on the compilation EP, Champagne Dancing Party, in 1995, included Will Cullen and Bill Doss.

With a sweet chic approach to packaging that's devoutly rooted in the recycling of 1950s and 60s imagery, Cher Doll has always shown that it's more than possible to put together artefacts that are fun, classy, and independent.
