Bat Chain Records

Before Tucker moved or deleted Para's post yesterday, Para raised a valid question regarding the name Yellow Peril by asking if it is a racist reference, and the answer is yes, yes it is. Though In my defence, I wasn't using the term in such sinister ways. British TV viewers will know of the famous Only Fools & Horses episode The Yellow Peril, well at work a (at the time) young chap bought a hideous bright yellow sports car which he would give us lifts to football/the pub in which became known as the Yellow Peril due to the trotters bright yellow Reliant Regal van. When I made my first music I threw a yousendit link onto blogspot & put next to it "yellow peril records" as a little joke for the few people at work who would see it. Then JamesDCody made a dance record & said he wanted it on Yellow Peril & just from then on it just became known as that. As time went on I did wonder if people would wonder why I had named the record label after a derogatory term & did think about starting a new bandcamp, though nobody had ever actually said anything up until Para yesterday, so I just let it be. Well, yesterday I realised it was as easy as just changing your username on here So I've renamed it Turning Tide Records, a reference to the wonderful Super Furry Animals tune. When I first used Yellow Peril I didn't expect to still be making music years later and have people listening as far out as Russia & Dartford as well as artists such as The Vanilla Shiznit & Brad Johnson calling it their home. So Para, I thank you for bringing this up, apart from having to re-do the logo the process was painless. 

Now you can all reply below calling me a sellout, a racist & a cunt. 

Here is the Yellow Peril, it didn't last long. He kept driving like a twat in it and had to have the brake pads replaced every few months & then realised the insurance was too much.
