BYG Records
Описание: | French label formed in Paris, France, in 1967. [b]BYG[/b] is an acronym of the founders of the label; [b]Fernand Boruso[/b], who worked previously on film director Lelouch's "[l=Saravah]" label; [b][a=Jean-Luc Young][/b], who was at "[l=Barclay] Records"; and [b][a=Jean Georgakarakos][/b] (also known as 'Karakos'), a French record dealer and distributor. The company's '[b]Actuel[/b]' tag encompassed promotional & marketing activity, such as a regional music magazine, and was a [b]BYG series[/b] produced by drummer [a=Claude Delcloo]. The label's primary aim was to record and capture a growing market of 'free-style' jazz-oriented artists and exponents of avant-garde music that were beginning to emerge at the close of the 1960's. Such artists as Archie Shepp, Don Cherry, Dave Burrell and [a=Gong] featured on the [b]BYG Records[/b] label. Recordings were usually achieved whilst such bands were on tour in Europe and the label's existence was an attraction for groups not on the radar of mainstream popularity. To gain focus for their label [b]BYG/Actuel[/b] initiated a five-day, 24-hour concert in Europe in the fall of 1969. Supported by the [i]Ricard Foundation[/i] the concert was to be held at the ''Parc Saint Cloud'' in Paris. Billed, up to the eleventh-hour, as the "First Paris Music Festival" with over 55 acts, the event was banned for 'environmental reasons' by concerned lobbyists of the French capital. Undeterred, [b]BYG/Actuel[/b] moved the event over the Belgium border, into a cold, damp, open field location in Amougies, reminiscent of early Glastonbury events. The acts appeared on a hastily erected stage covered by a large makeshift tent, performing to an audience of over 18,000, mainly French, Belgian or German fans, sleeping and eating rough. To complicate matters, the groups were introduced in English by master of ceremonies [a=Frank Zappa] who was accompanying and promoting a [a=Captain Beefheart] tour of Europe. His co-host was [a=Pierre Lattès], producer, DJ & music editor for [b]Actuel Magazine[/b], who was issuing live portions of the show out on LW French radio. Bootlegs, such as Zappa jamming with Pink Floyd (Inter-Zappa Overdrive), and a Jean-Nöel Roy and Jérôme Laperrousaz documentary film [i]Music Power/European Music Revolution[/i] reflect the nature of this event, which was in its way successful but a financial disaster for [b]BYG/Actuel[/b]. In hindsight, the Parisian authorities were perhaps foolish in snubbing [b]BYG/Actuel[/b]'s vision. Many of the bands booked for this event were, or became, the cream of the rock and jazz scene at the time. If the event had occurred in the comfort of the Paris stadium it is likely that it would have become a regular European event similar to that of Glastonbury or other UK festivals. [b]BYG/Actuel[/b] staged "60 hours of music for 60 Francs" between 24-28th Oct 1969 as follows: [See poster in 'images'] [b] Introduced by Frank Zappa & Pierre Lattès Friday Night: 24th Oct[/b] "Pop Music" [a=Ten Years After], [a=Colosseum], [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Aynsley+Dunbar+Retaliation,+The]Aynsley Dunbar's Retaliation[/url], [a=Alan Jack] Civilization.

A number of the above artists were recorded on the [b]BYG Records[/b] label. Beefheart's session can be found on [l=Revenant]'s [r=819304]. By 1972 [b]BYG Actuel[/b] had all but disappeared as a label. Karakos set up his own label "[l=Celluloid]" and Young formed the "[l=Charly Records]" label. The latter has released a CD set of past [b]BYG Actuel[/b] recordings, as has Italy's "[l=Get Back Records]". [b]Note:[/b] [a=Jacques Bisceglia], the French producer, is often incorrectly quoted as being the "B" in BYG. The [b]BYG Records 'Actuel'[/b] series is denoted by the suffix catalog# [b]300[/b]. Thus the Don Cherry recording [r=369033] would be catalog suffix# [b].301[/b] and, in most cases, the Actuel recordings were 180 gram vinyl. |
