Strut kicks off its 2013 release schedule with the first definitive overview of one of the most revered, open-minded and influential labels of the 1980s, Celluloid Records, on February 26th.
Formed by Jean Georgakarakos in Paris during the late '70s after a decade co-running French record shops and the spiritual jazz label BYG, the label gathered steam following Karakos' fateful early '80s trips to New York. After a chance meeting Bill Laswell who had himself landed fresh in the Big Apple from Michigan, Karakos began releasing the full spectrum of Laswell's early work, from the avant-rock cacophony of Massacre to his fluid, dance/post-punk production outfit, Material.
