 and ran the Captain Oi! Punk reissue label. However, his first love was glam/glitter bands, and 7T’s output reflects that genre’s boom period in the early 1970s. In an interview, Brennan said:

I just felt that the whole Glam/Teenybop era had been treated shabbily by the labels - crap, cheap looking 'Best Ofs' or 'Collections', with no thought or effort put in. People forget just how many records these bands sold in their heyday. Like with our punk stuff, I wanted to do original albums with relevant bonus tracks or chronological singles collections. All of course with the proper artwork, sleevenotes, foreign picture sleeves, proper mastering, etc.

Other key figures in the label’s development are restoration/remastering engineer Tim Turan and sleevenote compiler Phil Hendriks, who are both also musicians (Turan with Oxford’s Car Thieves, Hendriks with Blackburn’s Stiffs) and designer Tim Smith.
