The label of left-wing organization Kartoon Klowns, which was formed by photographer Red Saunders and other members of CAST, the Cartoon Archtypal Slogan Theatre. KK appears to have run to just the one release, a single offering 'No Return To The Bad, Bad Days' and 'Why Pay A Woman Less Than A Man' by The K K Band, which came out in 1976 with a catalogue number of KKR-1001. By the end of the year much the same group of people who had been involved in Kartoon Klowns had launched Rock Against Racism (q.v.), which struck more of a chord with young people than KK had done; presumably the focus shifted to the new organization. Manufacture of the K K Band single was by Phonodisc, and, as the label says, proceeds from it went to the Right To Work Defence Fund. The 'A' side is in a 'funky Rock' style, with male vocals; the 'B' is 'white Reggae' with female vocals.
