This is a fan site dedicated to the St Albans based record label Waldos Records. Waldos was run by owner Phil Smee from his front room which between 1977 and 1982 put out 20 unique and genre defining releases on 7” single and cassette tape. John Peel was a big fan and played Waldos records as soon as they were released. John’s appreciation resulted in two Waldos bands (The Tea Set and The Bodies) having Peel Sessions played on the same night in 1980. Waldos also put on “Package” gigs in the town which gave an opportunity for a number of up-and-coming local bands to play to a large audience. Many of these artists are still involved in music and the arts to this day... Phil, Angie and all the Waldos bands, we salute you!
