Cooking Vinyl MD Rob Collins spoke with Music Week on our ethos and how that has helped inspire recent successes such as two No.1 albums for Shed Seven.

Speaking in our latest edition, Collins suggested the campaign spoke volumes about Cooking Vinyl's approach.

“We’re really diligent and we really work hard and we look for every sale," he said. "We’re not lazy about our releases. In Shed Seven’s case, they haven’t had a manager for the majority of the campaign. Paul [Banks, guitarist] from the band is the manager, which is amazing. He runs his own business in York, he’s got a video production company, so he’s super organised, and was able to put out a lot of content and pull a lot of the strings that a manager would, but the band are really involved with the whole process."

Read the full interview with Rob Collins and Cooking Vinyl co-founder Martin Goldschmidt that looks back at the ups and downs of our near-four-decade history in the December issue of Music Week.

Pleased to announce the signing of renowned British Boy Band Blue to a worldwide deal.

Excited to release the group’s seventh studio album, which will be released in 2025, 25 years after Blue first formed.

“After our two No.1 albums this year with Shed Seven, the opportunity to sign Blue, who also had two No.1 albums in 2002, was something to get excited about, and when you look at their history, recent touring, audience size and not to mention some great new songs, they tick all of the right boxes,” said Rob Collins, MD of Cooking Vinyl.

In a joint statement, Blue said: “We are so excited to be working with Cooking Vinyl for our 25th anniversary. Rob and the team are full of great ideas and we can’t wait to start working with them. There will be something old, something new, nothing borrowed but all things Blue!”.

The group are one of only 20 artists (including our very own Shed Seven) to ever have two separate No.1 albums in 12 months in the UK charts.
