Bam Caruso, the pioneering record label, started in 1983, growing from the dying embers of St Albans "Waldos Records", with a mission to record the best new sounds emerging from the UK and America's so called "paisley underground", and merge them with rare and unknown psyche and garage/pop gems from the '60s, to be licensed in. We at RPM openly acknowledge the influence of Bam Caruso, and the imprint founder Phil Smee, upon its own approach to presenting releases. So it is with great pleasure that with the co-operation of Phil Smee we embark upon a re-launch of the imprint.
