Resteamed Records

Resteamed Records is a British independent jazz record label established in 2007. According to its official website, the label was formed specifically to release recordings exclusively by the late, great Stan Tracey, CBE, the influential British jazz pianist, composer and bandleader. The label's catalogue focuses not only on reissues from Stan Tracey's back catalogue but also on hard-to-find and previously unissued recordings drawn from his extensive archive. It also offers new copies of vinyl recordings from the original label set up by Stan and Jackie Tracey in the 1970s, and has moved into digital distribution with MP3 downloads. Resteamed Records incorporates TenToTen Records, an independent label set up by Clark Tracey — Stan Tracey's son and a noted jazz drummer — to promote a range of different groups as well as his own projects. The label operates an online store and has expanded its merchandise to include printed sheet music of Stan Tracey's charts alongside other items. Shipping is offered to UK addresses via Royal Mail, as well as to the rest of Europe and the rest of the world, indicating a primarily mail-order and online retail operation aimed at jazz collectors and enthusiasts. The label is a small, specialist imprint rather than a major corporate entity. Its identity is closely tied to the legacy of Stan Tracey, one of the most important figures in post-war British jazz, and to the Tracey family's continuing involvement in the music. Resteamed Records remains active, periodically issuing archive material and reissues and maintaining a direct-to-consumer sales channel through its website.

Resteamed Records was formed in 2007 with a specific mission: to release recordings exclusively by the late, great Stan Tracey, CBE. Stan Tracey (1926–2013) was a central figure in British jazz, known for his work as a pianist, composer and bandleader, including the landmark 1965 album 'Under Milk Wood' and decades of collaboration with major jazz artists. The label was established to curate and continue his recorded legacy. From its base in the United Kingdom, Resteamed Records has focused on two main strands. The first is reissuing material from Stan Tracey's back catalogue, making key recordings available again to collectors and new listeners. The second is a programme of releases drawn from Stan Tracey's extensive archive, featuring hard-to-find and previously unissued recordings. This archival work positions the label as a custodian of an important body of British jazz history. In addition to its own releases, Resteamed Records has offered new copies of vinyl recordings from the original label set up by Stan and Jackie Tracey in the 1970s, connecting the current imprint to the family's earlier independent label activities. The label has also embraced digital formats, with MP3 downloads made available alongside physical CDs and vinyl. Resteamed Records incorporates TenToTen Records, an independent label set up by Clark Tracey, Stan Tracey's son and a well-known jazz drummer and bandleader. TenToTen Records promotes a range of different groups as well as Clark Tracey's own projects, broadening the musical scope of the Resteamed operation beyond Stan Tracey's own recordings. The label operates an online store and has expanded its offering to include printed sheet music of Stan Tracey's charts together with other merchandise. Shipping arrangements described on its website cover UK addresses via Royal Mail, the rest of Europe (excluding Russia), and the rest of the world, reflecting a direct-to-consumer, mail-order model typical of specialist jazz labels. Resteamed Records remains an active independent label dedicated to preserving and extending the recorded legacy of Stan Tracey and associated artists.
