An independent label from Bristol, formed during the Punk / New Wave era. Heartbeat started off as a partnership between record-shop owner Tony Dodd and manager Simon Edwards, but after its first release Dodd chose to concentrate on his shop and left the label in Edwards's hands. It did well, surviving until 1984 and broadening its scope to record talent from outside the Bristol area. Distribution was by Cherry Red initially. Heartbeat was revived by Edwards in 1996. Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan of the Europeans' single. The discography below only covers the 1970s.
