Box-O-Plenty Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Box-O-Plenty Records is a record label, started by Richard Derrick, a musician based in San Pedro, California, in 2003. To date, the label has released three albums:
D. Boon and Friends, a collection of live and home recordings made in 1984-85, including six songs from a 1985 Minutemen show where Derrick was the substitute drummer. Most of the recordings were taken from Derrick's private collection, as he was Boon's roommate at the time these recordings were made. This project was done with the approval of Boon's family.
Alive In California by British singer-songwriter Kevin Ayers, whom Derrick brought to the US in 1998 and 2000 for two California mini-tours (Los Angeles and San Francisco). Ayers performs several of his best-loved songs, backed by local musicians.
Season Finale by Solo Career, a side-project band featuring Derrick on bass guitar, Bob Lee on drums, and guitarists Woody Aplanalp, Nels Cline and Ken Rosser. The cover artwork is by British artist Paul Whitehead, a longtime resident of Los Angeles. The music was recorded at two shows in 1997 and 2002. Other musicians who have performed with Solo Career include Joe Baiza, Danny Frankel and Mike Watt.
