DJ subscription service which releases 12″ records and CD’s containing special remixes of songs by various artists. The company was started in 1984 by Art Maharg and Joseph Watt, financed by a $1000 bank loan. Existing next to the other two services Disconet and Hot Tracks, Razormaid was soon praised for their innovative sleeve designs and interesting choice of songs. It was unusual for an American company to keep in touch with the European dance scene, as well as actually asking permission from record companies to remix the tracks of their signed artists.
Razormaid has released five Kim Wilde remixes over the years. In 1988 they started with remixes of Hey Mister Heartache, Never Trust a Stranger and a medley mix of You Came with Stone. Two years later, they released a remix of It’s Here. The last remix by Razormaid was Heaven.
All of these remixes were released on 12″ and CD, with the exception of ‘Hey Mister Heartache’ (which was released on 12″ only) and ‘Heaven’ (which was released on CD only).
