Beggar my neighbours: 4AD swallows sister labels

As part of the crazy, new-frontier world of music labels, Beggars Group have decided to thin out the number of imprints they operate under, shuttering the venerable Too Pure and Beggars Banquest labels and transferring across artists under those banners to 4AD.

It used to be quite hard to get onto 4AD; now it turns out all you had to do was sign to Beggars and wait.

The Too Pure singles club, it seems, is going to continue, though, as they sent out a press release after the announcement of the mothballing of Too Pure. This Spring, they'll be launching limited-edition singles featuring Kaputt, Electricity In Our Homes, Die! Die! Die!.

Pure delight

The lovely people at Too Pure - and we still think of them as being Th' Faith Healers label - are launching a singles club. Thirty quid will get you a year of seven inch singles, delivered to your door, still hot from the oven. Sounds lovely, doesn't it? There's a download option, too, but we suspect that might not come in a limited edition of 500.
