An independent label from the Punk/New Wave era, Cells belonged to Geoff Mann and was run in co-operation with Rough Trade. There appear to have been at least four releases on it, in 1978-9. The first of these was Essential Logic's own 'Aerosol Burns', the catalogue number of which was 'SELL ONE' (1); for their next single the group moved on to the Rough Trade label proper. Other Cells releases were the Barracudas, 'I Want My Woody Back' (SELL OUT-1; 1979), and an EP from the Ripchords featuring 'Ringing In The Streets', 'Television Television' and two other tracks (ANOTHER-1; 10/78). Thanks to Paul Winsall for the first scan and to Robert Bowes for the second.
