Bondage Records

About

Bondage Records was a French independent record label active during the mid-to-late 1980s, operating during a formative period for European underground and experimental music. Based in France, the label released material on vinyl LP format, supporting avant-garde and unconventional artists during an era when such experimental work found limited mainstream distribution. The label's three documented releases span from 1985 to 1988, including V.I.S.A. Présente, Louison Bobet For Ever, and Ils Veulent Nous Tuer, reflecting an eclectic approach to artist selection and thematic content. Though limited documentation exists regarding the label's specific philosophy and operations, Bondage Records represents an important artifact of the 1980s French underground music scene. The label's brief but deliberate output demonstrates the commitment of independent operators to promote experimental and non-commercial music during this period. While Bondage Records did not achieve wide recognition, it remains significant to collectors and researchers documenting the diverse landscape of European independent and industrial music during the 1980s.
