Press Release, April 16th 2003

Legendary songwriter and producer Mike Stock launches Better The Devil Records.

Better The Devil Records sees Mike Stock team up with millionaire businessman Bob Patmore to launch a new boutique record label with a clear and simple mission - to provide music with commercial appeal and high production values.

As Creative Director of Better The Devil Records, Stock will take full responsibility for the artistic output of the label with a clear edict: "whether we release one-off records or develop album projects, our aim is simply to release music that the public want to hear."

Bob Patmore, Commercial Director, has sourced substantial private investment for the label. "The level of funding is significant - there is no point launching a label with insufficient fiscal power. We have ensured that, financially, Better The Devil is able to fully compete in an aggressive and competitive market place."

Managing Director of Better The Devil Records is Graham Stokes, former MD of GSM Records, whose relationship with Stock dates back to the 1986 Bananarama hit "Venus".

Initial projects will include "Fast Food Song" by Fast Food Rockers released on June 2 and a remix of the club classic "Santa Maria" by Tatjana. Distribution will be through Nova Distribution via Pinnacle.
