About Beggars Banquet
It's almost twenty five years since Beggars Banquet unleashed its first 7" single, the three chord buzzsaw rush of The Lurkers' "Shadow/Love Story". In that time the south west London label has consistently released groundbreaking records while also establishing a group of equally groundbreaking labels. They've experienced the lows of near bankruptcy and the highs of hitting number one all over the world. They've been at the forefront of every major change in distribution for independent record labels, from deals with majors to helping to establish a truly independent distribution network, and on to today when they are seizing the opportunities and changes brought about by the increasing influence of the World Wide Web. Where hundreds have failed, Beggars has continued to grow proving in the process that an independent doesn't have to adopt the same values as a major in order to succeed. For today, just as always, the main motivation behind the entire Beggars Group is quite simply to put out great music. And if commercial success happens along the way (as it so often has, to a startling degree) then that's just an added bonus.
