...shy tone...

the shy tone label
was established in 1994
with operating capital of approximately nothing


its purpose
was to issue/reissue
local [Brisbane, Australia] musics
of high quality which had effectively
no distribution
whatsomever

until very recently
the same could genuinely be said
of shy tone itself

+
 in
2000/20001
a series of historical releases
was planned...taking in key/little-known US vernacular musical recordings
from the 1920s-1950s...as well as selected forgotten classics
and exceptional "bootlegs" of the last few decades

several of which are now - finally - available
w/handpainted covers
by John Henry Calvinist


below
you'll find links to
all available releases/forthcoming material
shy tone-related issues on other labels

as well as
interviews w/ label lynchpin band
