Audio Visual Records

Audio Visual Records was set up in 1986 in Liverpool by Ken Kelly (3).The first release on Audio Visual was a 10 track Merseyside compilation LP titled Modesty Kills which was distributed by Probe Plus and Rough Trade records in Europe and the USA. Due in part to a short documentary feature about Audio Visual Records on Granada TV in that same year and great support from the local press and radio the album went on to sell 2000 copies and made enough money to release a 4 track EP by the band Hey Marsha and a follow up compilation album titled Desperation - Audio Visual was fully up and running. Despite releases being a little sporadic of recent years the label is still active and celebrates 25 years in 2013.
