Firebrand was one of a couple of labels owned by Dema Directions, of Bristol, the other being Great Western (q.v.). Firebrand seems to have been the first on the scene, arriving in 1974. When Great Western started up, in 1976, both labels began to share a DM-000 numerical series, later DM-1000 It is possible that Firebrand was Dema's label for records which it actually issued, with Great Western being more of a DIY concern, but that's only a guess. Neither seems to have issued any records after 1983. As can be seen, Firebrand came in one design but several different colour schemes. Thanks to John Hodgson for bringing the label to my attention, and for sending the yellow scan. The other two scans appear here by courtesy of Sporidium (red) and Sid-Departure (black) of the 45cat site. The discography below covers both Firebrand and Great Western releases, and, just for once, covers the 1980s as well as the '70s. Great Westerns are marked with an asterisk.
