GAFFA 'N' PRODUCT



Gaffa was a DIY label from the Punk era, dedicated to records by the band of that name.   It issued a couple of singles by them in 1979, 'You Know I Love You' b/w 'Hearts Of Stone' (ZZZZS-001) and 'Attitude Dancing' b/w 'Long Weekend' (ZZZZS-002); another, 'Man With A Motive' b/w 'Your Side / My Side' (ZZZZS-003), followed in August 1980.   Under the shortened name of "N" Product it also hosted a single by Harry & The Atoms, 'Working For Nothing' b/w 'Living For The Moment' (ATOM-1) in 1980 - 'The Atoms' were three members of Gaffa, and 'Harry' was Harry Stephenson, formerly with Plummet Airlines.  Distribution of the Gaffa records was by Pinnacle.  Gaffa (the group) had previous form: they had had an EP out in 1977, on the Cleverly Brothers label ('Normal Service Will Never Be Resumed', CBM-002).  Thanks to Robert Bowes for the second scan, and to Stephen Howard of the Nottsmusicarchive website for letting me know about the Harry & The Atoms' single.
