ARDKOR
A DIY label, owned and run by Political Punk
band Crisis, who had previously had an EP out on the Peckham Action Group label
(q.v.). Ardkor issued at least two singles and a mini-album by Crisis
during the period 1979-81, using a CRI-000 numerical series. The
first single, 'UK 79', was numbered CRI-002 and came with a handwritten white
label; the second, 'Alienation', was CRI-004, while the mini-album was
003. Was there a CRI-001, and were all the 7" labels handwritten or
hand-stamped? Thanks to Sam Mauger for the scans.
