COMPANY 

  

An independent label from Lincoln, owned by Chris Hall.  Catalogue numbers suggest that Company issued eight records but I have only been able to find five, which are listed below.  The first two singles were reissues of DIY singles by Thomas Leer ('Private Plane') and Robert Rental ('Paralysis'), which originally came out on the Oblique and Regular labels respectively (q.v. both).  The reissues appeared on the Company / Oblique (1) and Company / Regular labels (2).  Company also handled the first single by The Comsat Angels, which came out on that band's own Junta label (q.v.).  As can be seen, The Cigarettes' 'They're Back Again, Here They Come' single came in red-labelled and black-labelled versions.  Thanks to Robert Bowes for the third scan, Paul Winsall for the fourth, and Simon Hughes for the fifth.
