About Dig !
Some references were awaited in 1996 : Spider babies 7“, Electric Nubians 7“  (never issued)
And  some projected for 1997  :  the Hellacopters 10“ live , the Temporal sluts 10“ live,    Highrollers's lp (never issued)

In 1997, Stephane had big problems with the tcheckoslovakian pressing plant, who lost some DATs,  refused him the usual advances before pressings., and kept recordings by its side. (...) This was the debut of a long descent in hell. In consequence, Stephane had to sell his own collection, and began to become more and more late on the foreseen releases, before give up.
In 1999, the end of DIG ! Records was signed.
Ps : As many little labels at that time (and that is always the case for many ?), it was amateurish, and made only withpassion, and some little money investments. When it has to be done, ...it was done.. when not... it wasn't.
And I know what i'm talking about, as my own band the Out Four might have got an ep on Dig !
(So, this explains the Dig ! label appeared on the record, even if not produced by Stephane.)
Anyway : Respect !
