FRESH HOLD RELEASES



A DIY label from 1979-80.  Fresh Hold Releases was based in Hornsey.  It issued two three-track maxi-singles / EPs by a duo called Take It, the first of which featured 'Man Made World', 'Taking Sides' and 'How It Is (Version)'.  That record came out in November 1979, and had a catalogue number of TR-1.  Another three-tracker followed in 1980, and was numbered FHR-1.  Tracks on that disc were 'Twenty Lines', 'Armchairs' and 'Trends And Relations'.  Presumably the group owned the label.  Thanks to Nicholas Hough for supplying the scan, which shows that that record was pressed in France - a common practise for small concerns at that time.
