Green Tea Records discography

Green Tea Records was set up in 1997, and like Pressure Sounds, was originally a subsidiary of On-U Sound. However, since Pressure Sounds became the independent concern of Adrian Sherwood's friend, Pete Holdsworth, it now operates under his wing. Its brief was / is to release output by On-U 'family' artists or 'friends' of On-U that are worthy of airing, but not quite suited to bearing the On-U Sound label. Output to date has been sporadic as suitable material for release comes occasionally to the fore. Releases are free from direct Sherwood involvement (unless stated) but with familiar On-U 'names' regularly credited and Sherwood often being part of the link that makes each release happen.

In common with the other label discographies, any tracks given a [Rhythm xxx] notation link to the corresponding rhythm in the Rhythm Directory but the Rhythm Directory only links back to it here if it doesn't appear in any of the non-label orientated discographies. If the item also appears in a non-label discography then the Rhythm Directory links to the track in its listing there preferentially.
