Prefect Records was conceived by members of the bands "Joanna Gruesome" and "The Field Mice".
We release and distribute music that adheres to a strict set of melodic criteria: an academic marking scheme we call “The Prefectual Sound Test.
Trying to find promoters/venues for this stellar triple bill .
Any suggestions be greatly appreciated.
Autocamper can’t do the first show as they in the studio that day but other than that this is what it would look like just need to fill in the locations.
Leeds 1:30 am vibes - abandoned by musicians and left to fend for self. All I had on me was £1.45 in change and a Morrisons More Card.
New Mt Misery single out today. There’s a link to the video in the bio. Fair play they didn’t spend all of the £25 budget they had to make it.
New album is being pressed , should be out early November.
This single is not on the album.
That’s just how it is.
That time some idiot decided hand printing 227 unique inserts was a good idea . “ Oh we can do them on Christmas Day while the adults are sleeping “ we thought.
6 months later kitchen table still covered in ink.
One of the least astute things we ever did, and we do a lot of dumb s**t 🙁
Great review of the new comp ❤️❤️
The brilliant, no-frills all bangers Hartlepool, UK based label Prefect Records have just released their second compilation of deep cuts, rarities and vinyl exclusives. Following on from last year’…
The white vinyl version of the debut album by is now Sold Out. There are still a few copies of the yellow vinyl available from Rough Trade. Please order from their website .
We have a few copies of their 7 inch left, maybe a handful last time I checked. A few other things we are close to selling out on too - the 14 Comp and Telephone Numbers 7 inch down to about 10 copies.
We don’t repress stuff so if you were thinking about buying the EggS album now would be a good time to order it.
New 15 track vinyl compilation out today. 227 copies on black vinyl - ships immediately, none of this Pre Order waiting around for months horses**t .
Order via our website or Bandcamp
Thanks to everyone that’s continued supporting us in 2023 - new compilation on the way in the coming weeks.
Later in 2024 we have got new albums from and coming out. Both those records are almost finished - just at the mixing stage , so will actually get released. I know we promised the Mt Misery one would be out in 2023 … dunno where the time went 🤦♂️
Probably the rarest thing produced by the label - a solitary copy of the album pressed at 33rpm.
Naturally it wasn’t fast enough for them and it ended up at 45rpm .
Sale on the website ( prefectrecords.org) till end of December.
Albums from £10 , singles from £5.
Few of these records we only have a handful of copies left.
Some of the early records on the label selling for crazy money on Discogs so get yourself a bargain while you can is our advice .
FACTS
Less than 20 copies left of the vinyl 7 inch from our website www.prefectrecords.org or Bandcamp
Missed out on OH janglers The Laughing Chimes? The folks Prefect Records & Records have a new EP that spotlights some of the band's brightest. The EP culls three prefect janglers from their growing canon, all ripe and ready for the crisp days ahead. https://bit.ly/3Li5TWM

An episode of Teenage Hate on 19 March 2023
Prefect 003 by The GN Band ( or GN as they were then known) certainly seemed to divide opinion. We actually got an email from an Italian guy that said “ Why have you released this ? I hate it “
This was another hand made sleeve, and there are a few copies on glossy Kodak photo paper after we ran out of card and Asda was shut. Or it might have been raining.
Think this might also have been the first release where the dog started sending messages to his mates etched into the run out grooves. It’s certainly the only sleeve with a naked man on it- though perversely the same man lies down in a pond fully clothed in the video.
Although this record has technically been Sold Out for over 12 months, you can still buy it online from Rough Trade or Stone Records in Japan.
A solid investment given there were only 140 copies pressed.
The back cover of Prefect 002 by The Tubs. Unless you own this record you may never have seen this.
Probably the most sought after single we have released, I regularly get asked “ I don’t suppose you still have a spare copy of the first Tubs record ? “
Band photo features Sam and Rachel from the band Flowers, but no drummer. Or the lad with the beard that played guitar at the time.
4 years on and I’m still waiting for the correct artwork for this one . 🙁

Prefect LP005 - coming July 2023
Lovely review - I think this was initially going to be the A side till Thomas changed his mind at the last minute !
A bit closer to the cloth of their debut album, the “This Job Is Killing Me” eschews the swells and whistles of “Weird Sisters,” in favor of a straight jangler with a bittersweet heart and a message we can all get behind. Prefect Records Meritorio Records https://bit.ly/3KDSw3F
Love this review from the wonderful RTSB ♥️
Prefect Records captures the spirit of the original Sarah, Postcard, Cloudberry, and Subway comps creating a document of non-album indie pop goodness that’s sure to be a constant on the turntable for years to come. Essential! https://bit.ly/3YU7Ehz
New record out today , you can buy it if you want from our Bandcamp or Website. Links in bio etc
Have had to push back the release date for the Compilation Album. Vinyl has STILL not arrived from the pressing plant and Royal Mail STILL not accepting small parcels and goods for overseas delivery at Post Offices 5 weeks after a cyber attack they told us it would take 2 weeks to recover from.
Not a great time to be running a DIY label 🤦♂️
The compilation album is finally out on Valentines Day - 14 Feb .
14 tracks new to vinyl from some of our favourite artists.
Really excited to have the demo version of this song on the album as we are long time admirers of the music Jess has made.
We were hoping for a video featuring skulls and ….

I remember the last time @mtmiseryband tried playing live in July. Thunder, lightning, torrential rain. Even the core demographic ( Mums, Dads, Confused Pensioners, Toddlers ) struggled with it 🙁
The 2nd EggS album is pretty much finished and sounding mighty good. Should be out in the Autumn with a fair wind. Hopefully have a single/video to share with you all late May/early June. In the meantime here’s some live footage we brazenly stole of the ever expanding @eggsloshuevos from the weekend - can’t wait to see them@in the Uk later in the year ❤️
10 years since this album came out - where does the time go ? One album , a smattering of gigs, and a break up , in more ways than one. Just Handshakes - top band.
