Big Scary Monsters Records is 50 releases old! No, we didn't see it coming either. Over the past 7 years we've put out many many releases from more wonderful bands than I can count on an army of toes. There have been great moments and there have been even better moments, and so it seemed only fitting that we celebrate the half-century with something a little special.

50 Not Out is a compilation CD of 50 MP3s featuring past, present and future BSM associates, along with many of our favourite others. So that's music from the likes of Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Maps And Atlases, Tubelord, This Town Needs Guns, Jeniferever, Jonah Matranga, Rolo Tomassi, Jonquil, Secondsmile, Copy Haho, Sam Isaac, Tera Melos, Hush The Many, Data.Select.Party, Meet Me In St Louis and a lot more! The full tracklisting is right here: http://www.bsmrocks.com/shop_50notout.html

The CD is being given away for free with all purchases from http://www.bsmrocks.com or you can buy it for the princely sum of just £4 via the same link.

But wait... There's more! If you join up to our Friend Of The Family (http://www.bsmrocks.com/friend) mini-site you can pick the CD up for just £3 and also have access to 10 free MP3 downloads of tracks from the CD. Check it out.

So that's it. Fifty bloody releases! Thanks to everyone for playing a bigger part than you probably realise in helping us reach this milestone. Here's to the next 50.
