Mammoth Cave Recording Co.

Mammoth Cave Recording Co. was a Canadian independent record label, active from 2009 to 2015.[1] Formed in Lethbridge, Alberta by Evan Van Reekum and Paul Lawton,[1] the label later moved to Toronto, Ontario when Lawton moved to that city with his band Ketamines.[2]

The label released new music by artists including Ketamines, The Famines, B. A. Johnston, Needles//Pins and Nervous Talk, as well as reissues by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Simply Saucer and Crash Kills Five.[1]

The label announced its closure in February 2015.[3] Its statement announcing the closure stated that the production cost of vinyl albums had become prohibitive,[3] and that they were facing significant backlogs at pressing plants because "the vinyl comeback and Record Store Day disproportionately favour Beatles reissues" over small independent companies.[1][3]
