Dandelion Records

For the bootleg label, please use Dandelion Records (3) instead. Label founded and run by John Peel and his manager Clive Selwood from 1969-72 and distributed by, successively, CBS Records, Warner Bros. Records, and Polydor. The company Dandelion Records Limited was dissolved on July 30th, 2013. Subsequently, the label name and associated web domains has been hijacked and used by bootleggers. The label was named after one of Peel's hamsters. His publishing company, Biscuit, was named after his other hamster. Peel: "It was never a success financially. In fact, we lost money, if I remember correctly, on every single release bar one. I did quite like it but it was terribly indulgent" Only one release charted.
