Originally named after Tim Scott's private studio facility – Acer Studios, it was set up initially in 2002 for the recording and release in 2003 of his debut album Bald on the Inside , [1] [2] and as a front to administer the publishing rights and distribution of his solo compositions. [3]
Bald on the Inside was distributed through Borders throughout the UK. Backed by a UK-wide in store CD signing tour, it generated enough sales to put it occasionally inside their top 200 sellers list. [4]
The name was changed to Acer Records in order to separate the label and the underlying core company in 2008 with the release of Tim Scott's second album Guitar Mashing [5]
The grouped release of the Amy Jane , Angel Dust and 4:AM singles and the digital release of Bald on the Inside all in November 2009, were all encompassed under the Acer Records umbrella. [6]
