Do It Yourself charts the rise of the independent music industry after punk – from the hundreds of bands and tiny labels that sprung up with like-minded ideals, to the network of shops, manufacturers, studios, printers etc, all connected via a loose network of record distributors that would help define independent music over the following thirty years.

All the bands on this record released their music independently, either themselves or on a small label. Some went on to be incredibly famous and others didn’t. This record celebrates all factions and discusses the social and economic conditions that allowed independent music to thrive in the years to follow up to the present day. It comes complete with interviews with label owners, bands, studios, mastering and pressing plants and even printers!

Features tracks by The Buzzcocks, Artery, A.P.B., Glaxo Babies, The Flys, Scritti Politti, Thomas Leer, Throbbing Gristle, Swell Maps and more!
