Crab Air - motto 'Fly Sideways With Crab Air' - was home to just the one record, an EP entitled 'Fly Away' by Brett Morrell, whom, I would assume, owned the label. Profits from the record went to the RAF's 'Battle Of Britain Museum' appeal fund. The EP came in a picture sleeve, was pressed by EMI, and had a catalogue number of AFEP-1. The music on it was quite varied: 'Fly Away' is Brit-Pop-ish, in a primitive sort of way, and 'Crazy 'Bout Me' is basic Rock 'n' Roll; while of the two tracks on the 'B' side, 'It's All Over Now' is vaguely Psychedelic Folk, and 'Penny' is acoustic Singer / Songwriter stuff. Altogether it's a more interesting mixture than the picture on the sleeve - a cartoon of Brett in front of two aircraft hangars - promised.
