Dick Bros Record Company
The Dick Brothers Record Company (1993 to 1998) was an independent record label formed by the singer Fish based in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. It predominantly released material by Fish, including 'official bootleg' live albums. Although they were plans to include other artists, only two full non-Fish albums ever appeared on the label: In Amber by Dream Disciples (1994) and Man Dancin by Tam White (1996). In addition, the first Dick Bros. ever released was a compilation showcasing artists that had recorded at the studio "Funny Farm Residential Recording Studios" that Fish was running at the time. Entitled The Funny Farm Project - Outpatients '93, it was intended as the start of a regular series, but only one was ever published. Apart from two cover versions and one original unreleased song by Fish, it included two tracks by Dream Disciples, two by Joyriders and one each by One Eternal, Avalon and Guaranteed Pure. The latter were notable due to their singer Ray Wilson who went on to become a member of Stiltskin and Genesis.
After Dick Bros. closed, Fish recorded with Roadrunner Records and Snapper Music, before launching a new label, Chocolate Frog Records Company.

“Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can’t talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.”
—Philip K. Dick (1928–1982)
“He will not idly dance at his work who has wood to cut and cord before nightfall in the short days of winter; but every stroke will be husbanded, and ring soberly through the wood; and so will the strokes of that scholar’s pen, which at evening record the story of the day, ring soberly, yet cheerily, on the ear of the reader, long after the echoes of his axe have died away.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We have nothing to fear and a great deal to learn from trees, that vigorous and pacific tribe which without stint produces strengthening essences for us, soothing balms, and in whose gracious company we spend so many cool, silent and intimate hours.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
