Collection: Big Life​

[l100347 was formed in 1986 by the partnership of [a384885 and [a311308.

Summers was previously involved in the development of the group [a17641 and Parry was guitarist in the group [a107230. The duo also formed Big Life Management and its publishing arm, Big Life Music, in 1987.

[l100347 was a creative platform for the late 80's and early 90's 'underground' dance movement. [a946 were one of the bands with Big Life, featuring guest vocalist [a1830, which helped her build her career on this native cult success and sell 11 million records worldwide. Big Life helped establish a diverse stable of talent, such as: [a4970, [a45031, [a26522, [a4091, Coldcut, James Taylor Quartet, [a54286 and more.

[l100347 achieved over 50 top 40 UK hits before closing its doors after ten years. However, the self-administered publishing and management work of Big Life Music remains active in the industry, with a wealth of hits from their catalogue appearing in the UK charts. Summers became manager of [a10359 and [a21757 and has involvement with The Power Amp Music Fund.

[l21752, or Raw TV was a distributor, not a label, and used for catalogue reference - most notably on releases by The Soup Dragons.

Exclusively distributed in the UK by PolyGram Record Operations starting June 1991.
