CAN'T
EAT
A Croydon-based one-off label from
the Punk era, run by The Banned and featuring their 'Little Girl' b/w
'C.P.G.J.s' single (EAT-1-UP; 9/77). Rumour has it that two members
of The Banned also appeared in Prog-Folk band Gryphon, and that the single was
recorded in an attempt to cash in on the popularity of Punk Rock. 'Little
Girl' was picked up by EMI's 'Harvest' label - home to Gryphon - and reissued as
HAR-5145 (11/77). A moderately-changed line-up of the band recorded a
second single for Harvest, 'Him Or Me' b/w 'You Dirty Rat' (HAR-5149;
2/78). Distribution of the original single was by Lightning. Thanks
to Robert Bowes for the scan.
