Nothing Records
Shortly after the release of "Feed Me Weird Things", Squarepusher released his first music for Warp Records in the form of the "Port Rhombus EP" in 1996. Jenkinson signed a multi-album deal with Warp and the label would become his long-time and primary home. The "Vic Acid" EP was released in 1997, followed by his sophomore full-length, "Hard Normal Daddy". Later that year, Warp and Sypmania would co-release "Burningn'n Tree", which compiled the "Conumber E:P" and "Alroy Road Tracks", alongsing three previously unreleased tracks.
Bobo Jenkins
Jenkins went on to promote the first Detroit Blues Festival, in 1972. His first album, "The Life of Bobo Jenkins", was issued in the same year. It became known as the "red album", from the color of the record sleeve, which included a photograph of a younger Jenkins – who was then 56 years old – within a star shape. This was a tie-in with the Big Star Records name. Jenkins was one of the headline acts in the Detroit blues review part of the 1973 Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival. Recordings from the festival were released by Schoolkids Records in 1995, including two tracks by Jenkins. In 1974, Jenkins wrote another song with political overtones, "Watergate Blues," which was included on his next album, "Here I Am a Fool in Love Again". The cover design was the same as that of the previous release, but with a change in color, and the album became known as the "green album". The session musicians included artists based in Ann Arbor, such as Sarah Brown, Fran Christina and Steve Nardella. In 1976 Jenkins performed at the Smithsonian Institution, as part of the celebrations marking the United States Bicentennial.
