Sexy Records

About

Sexy Records was an independent record label active during the early 1980s, operating during a formative period for underground and experimental music distribution. The label's catalog reflects a commitment to avant-garde and unconventional sounds, with a particular focus on cassette-based releases, the most affordable and accessible format for independent artists at the time. The label's 1980 output demonstrates its engagement with experimental and conceptual works, including the "A Bagful of Angst" series and "Soundtracks to Imaginary Films," titles that suggest an aesthetic alignment with art-oriented, non-commercial music practices. While documentation on the label's geographic origins and founding specifics remains limited, Sexy Records' cassette-forward strategy places it within the broader DIY ethos of the post-punk and experimental underground. The label appears to have been a modest but purposeful operation, releasing works that prioritized artistic vision over commercial viability, contributing to the diverse ecosystem of independent music distribution during the 1980s.
