Space Kelly - Come To My World: A Tribute To Sarah Records

German singer and songwriter Space Kelly released six albums in German since 1994, two albums of well curated cover versions and, recently, a tribute album to UK cult label Sarah Records. With his authentic blend of Sixties Softpop and original Nineties Britpop he was one of the first musicians in Germany to lead the way for a new generation of pop artists singing in their native language.

Space Kelly even toured Japan extensively singing in German and had a #1 independent single there in 2003.

With a new album coming up in 2027 it is time for a proper international elease of "Come To My World: A tribute To Sarah", his 2023 appreciation LP to the legendary indie label Sarah Records from Bristol which existed for less than a decade but still enjoys a global following today, 25 years after it shut down.

More importantly, Space Kelly owes its existence directly to the label: band mastermind Ken Steen first picked up a guitar to play along with a 10-inch mini-album called Laurel, by the band Brighter, released by Sarah in 1991. At the time, Ken lived in Hamburg, attending as many gigs as he could afford on a student budget. Because of Hamburg’s role in the mythology of the Beatles, up-and-coming UK bands constantly came across to play little club shows in the port city. And outside the venues, a few music-obsessed locals sold 7-inch singles out of the backs of their cars, obscurities aimed at true aficionados. Ken began to buy the occasional single by Sarah bands like the Field Mice, the Sea Urchins, and Another Sunny Day.
