Caff Records was a short lived British independent record label run by Bob Stanley[1] of the band Saint Etienne. The label grew out of a fanzine Stanley put out with fellow band member Pete Wiggs,[2] with the label going by the name Caff, Caff Records and Caff Corporation.[3] Established in 1989, it is most noted for single releases by Pulp and the Manic Street Preachers. The Caff logo is a line drawing of a duck. After closing the label, Stanley together with Wiggs ran Icerink Records (1992–1994),[4] Royal Mint (1995) and EMIdisc (1996).[5] They currently have a CD imprint called Eclipse via Universal.[6]
