Acid Jazz presents a very special compilation marking the 40th Anniversary of group label
Countdown Records.
Countdown was originally founded by Eddie Piller, Maxine Conroy and Terry Rawlings and distributed
by legendary UK independent Stiff Records. The label reflected the burgeoning Mod revival scene of
the mid ‘80s, alongside a vibrant New Wave sound, as Ed began to find his way as a label executive.
It was a fresh and unique take on Mod that attempted to place the scene’s main acts in the
mainstream world. It almost worked too. But despite the brilliance of the signings, it was tripped up by
the demise of Stiff, and the corporate domination of the mid-80s charts.
Lessons would be learned and applied with Piller’s next label Acid Jazz, where Countdown refugees
such as James Taylor, and Mother Earth’s Chris White went on to greater success.
This collection tells the label’s story through the best of its musical output, from mainstays such as
Makin’ Time, The Prisoners and The Kick, alongside classics and rarities from their groundbreaking
compilations, from which this release in turn takes inspiration.
Presented in a beautiful sleeve layout with a distinctly modernist touch
