Hi,
Just a quick one, the catalogue and distro have been pruned, so all those displayed are available NOW! Some are running low, some less so, I'll let you guess which ones. Same low prices but trades are welcome - e-mail for my address.
I'm still accepting submissions for the afore-mentioned compilation, which will be on lovely pro-pressed CDr this time. Noise impressions! Much interest was shown but only a handful actually submitted tracks worthy of their heroes. Please let me know if you're interested in submitting, or you're still working on your masterpiece... - thanks.
Anybody living in or near Bristol, please let me know what's interesting and noisy around this town! I've lived here for nine months and only been to a handful of gigs, one of which was the ballet. readcharles [at] hotmail [dot] com
Deadline for the aforementioned comp has been extended, due to only receiving six or so tracks worthy of a place on it! So come on, get your arse in gear and send me your best noise impression:

p.s. Remaining outstanding orders go out end of this week.
Hello,
My activities have been on hold for a while due to various things, financial issues etc. I'm back again and expect more activity starting in the new year - couple of exciting things on the horizon, watch this space etc. My apologies to a couple of people who have had to wait too long for their tapes - you will be rewarded with freebies for your patience! All releases from catalogue/distro are currently available but expect to wait until early January for them to be sent out.
I am also currently accepting submissions for a FAKE compilation I am working on. Send me a track pretending to be your favourite "famous" noise artist. Only the most convincing will be included! Release will be on CDR and participants get 2 free copies each plus my blessing to copy/upload/ share/remix etc. as they wish. Just to clarify: you won't get your band name or contact details on the packaging, just the NOIZE HEROEZ that you are pretending to be! I need about 6-8 more tracks and this is done, deadline = February 08.
E-MAIL FOR MY NEW POSTAL ADDRESS!! I NOW LIVE IN BRISTOL!! readcharles [AT] hotmail [DOT] com
New (ish) release on Underground Pollution Records - Betty/Cementimental split C90 can be ordered from me also, £2 UK/ £3 abroad.
Have a lovely Christmas xxxx
Updated catalogue and distro sections. Links in the process of being sorted & checked.
The CDr 'Betty - Power Acoustics' is now sold out. 50 copies were made in total.
I couldn’t be bothered with that yahoo group thing any more, so if you want to receive (very occasional) BTR updates e-mail me and tell me so.

Latest news from BTHQ:
BT028 BBBlood/Solblomma split C20 now available, sorry about the delay. Baron Bum Blood makes harsh feedback/experimental noise insanity from London, UK and Solblomma is similar, only Swedish.
BT030 Ynstigator – at all cost C40. Great new US harsh noise, raw dirty and uncompromising just as you like it recommended.
BT031 Ynstigator/Betty – split C20.
BT034 Ynstigator – incinerator C90. Ninety minutes of filthy dirty harshness. Ninety!
Artist copies of them are going out next time I go to the Post Office (soon!)
More coming soon like Somukenai from Japan, ophibre from somewhere else and Betty from bog-brain Devon, other stuff in planning stages. I had a little rest but I’m back in action, yeah!! I’m be bringing my Scrumpy-noise to LA this summer, which should be interesting … (watch this space).
Some early tapes are almost sold out. You can probably guess which ones.
All tapes £2 UK / £3 abroad, or TRADE (e-mail first!)
Added to distro: Betty 'Steak' CDr on Luggage Records. 'BT Recordings very own king of cassettes makes a rare CDR appearence in Steak. Fantastic lofi tape recorded harsh noise. Very primitive, very base, very effective. Radios/samples/who knows what all come into play over these 7 murky untitled tracks. Colour pictures of bronzed gods grace the front and back, all printed on strong card for that added durability. Enjoy...' £2 UK / £3 abroad or TRADE. I only got a few copies of this.

Present were Dr. Age of Cementimental, Gland, Ron
Briefel and myself (Betty), along with a few other
people here and there. A 'dirtier' cassette recording
of the event, twice the length of this version, will
be released on BTR soon.
Right!
I have just finished some exams so am free to do some serious noise for the next month or two. If you want me to do you a release or trade with you etc. now would be a very good time.
ALSO, and more importantly, Betty would LOVE to play live sometime soon either around London or anywhere in Britain I can get to on a cheap bus. Money is not a problem so long as I have somewhere to crash, couple of quid towards transport appreciated if poss. I'm fairly new to this live thing so if anyone has contacts or knows of anything going on please let me know so I can email and beg etc. I'm a bit behind with orders but that will be sorted by the end of this week (nothing better to do). So buy buy buy! (and trade)
