Journey back to 1977. Here we find the rock band Sea Stone, featuring young guitarist/singer/song writer Simon Law, ready to release their debut album, but no record label could be found to take the risk of unleashing their uncompromising Christian message to the world! So, Simon decided to take action by setting up his own label and Plankton Records was born (so named because we are the smallest fish in the great sea of record labels. When we get big we're changing the name to Whale Records!). In 1978, 1,000 LPs of the album Mirrored Dreams were pressed and released (which have now become a much sought after collector's item with mint copies changing hands for £140.00 plus!) and after making a profit from the sales of the LP the money was ploughed back into the business. Containing some intense jams with searing guitar leads from leader Simon Law, it is widely regarded as one of the best albums to have emerged from the 1970s Christian rock scene.
I used to perform poetry with Seastone and Simon published my book. Some of the happiest days of my life.
