BamCaruso was an excellent U.K. reissue label that was founded by Phil Smee in St Albans (graphic designer and record collector) during the 80's. I recommend all 17 Rubble series LPS. They also put out 11 "original" cds that were essentially the same songs as the 17 LPS, but the last few songs on cd 10 and ALL of cd 11 were not on the LPS. BamCaruso had many reissues besides the Rubble comps, as Pascal has noted and listed on his website. One of the highlights (in my mind's eye) that Bam Caruso did was create a classy magazine called STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING. It was full of great interviews, reviews, pics of related groups, and related pop-sike culture. It was rumored (though it's never that simple) that the high cost of the magazine production is one of the reasons Bam Caruso folded. All 7 issues are great reading and highly recommended.
