The label was formed by Markie Mofo, Rob Chuck, Darren Chuck and Missy Tassles; all one-time members of bands including Velodrome 2000, The Motherfuckers and Chuck, Mark went on to be in The Parallellograms and The Mini Skips whilst Missy has continued in bands Flying Wing, Black Light Ray,[1] The Sleazoids[2] performed briefly with The Wedding Present and solo as The Girl Next Door.
The SPC label has an extensive catalogue; their trademarks are thick, coloured vinyl and sleevenotes written in a comical Victorian style.
Their only non-Sheffield-related release to date is an album of songs by American chicken farmer Charles E. Cullen.
The second issue is now a collector's piece, changing hands for relatively large sums on eBay, as the CD features an early track by the then unknown Arctic Monkeys and some rare Long Blondes material.
"Virtual vinyl" is also available from the label's website, in the form of free downloads, often giving a taste of album releases.
