ANOTHER / ANOTHER RECORD LABEL



An independent label from the Punk / New Wave years, based in Lancaster.  Another Records issued a single and an EP, with something of gap in time between them.   'Running In The Street' b/w 'T.V. Friends', by Cardiac Arrest (not the Tim Smith-led outfit) appeared in June 1979 with a catalogue number of AN-001, but AN-002, Michael Byrd & The Commercials', 'Sell Out Before The Fall Out' EP, didn't come out until 1981.  In between the company's name changed from 'Another Records' to 'Another Record Label'.  The common thread between the records was Michael Byrd, who had provided guitar and vocals on the Cardiac Arrest tracks; according to a sticker on the EP's sleeve The Commercials included some members of Two-Tone band The Selecter.  As can be seen from the scan which Barry Adcock has kindly provided, the label of the Cardiac Arrest single consisted of a small printed circle with the title and label name on it pasted onto a white blank.  The Michael Byrd EP had a more conventional label: it was white with black printing, and it had the company's name at the top.
