History
The concept of the label was formed in March 2016 by a group of six Glasgow-based music fans. They envisaged a record label operated on a patronage model, funded by a £50 donation from 60 of their friends and associates. In return the patrons would receive physical copies of each release and guest list entry to all label events. The label's inaugural event took place on the 2nd of June 2016, at The Old Hairdresser's venue in Glasgow, with 100 members and a roster of three artists.[2]
The label name is taken from the line 'When I called you last night from Glasgow' in ABBA's Super Trouper (song).[3]
About
Objectives
The label was founded with the intention of assisting unsigned artists with the physical release and promotion of their music.[4] Artists do not enter into any restrictive contract with the label, retain the intellectual rights to their music and are paid fairly for their work. All profits are reinvested into the objectives of the label.[5]
Business Model
The label operates as a not-for-profit private limited company.[6] Operating capital is primarily raised by the sale of annual memberships and in return for their patronage, members receive a 12" vinyl copy of each of that year's releases, digital releases and guest list entry to all album launch events.[7] In the 2017 membership year the label operated with '200 or so' members.[8]
In February 2018 it was announced that Last Night From Glasgow had been awarded Creative Scotland funding '...to produce the recording, production, manufacture, distribution and promotion of six vinyl albums and supporting digital releases for six currently unsigned Scottish artists.' [9]
