Record distribution is a complex art, and the jovial Steve Beatty is a master of it.  He founded Plastic Head in his bedroom at his parents’ house and, 15 years later, it’s one of the UK’s top ten distributors – Cherry Red among its clients.  Beatty, who formed his own record label in 1985 before changing tack and looking at the bigger picture, entertainingly explains his personal journey, his view of the future and offers down-to-earth advice to anyone interested in getting involved in the ever-changing business of music.
