The label of L & S Management, a company based in Saundersfoot, Dyfed. Catalogue numbers for its singles were in a LAS-100 series; they reached LAS-103, but LAS-101 is as yet unaccounted-for. L & S appears to have effectively been a vehicle for records by New Wave / Rock Band Elite. The band's first single 'Take Away' b/w 'Part Of My Life' (LAS-102) came out in June 1979 and was made through Aerco (q.v.) of Woking. As can be seen from the scan, L & S merely featured as an overprint on the standard Aerco label at that point. LAS-102, however, had a non-Aerco label design - it kept the company's logo but added the band's own logo prominently. That single offered the tracks 'Money Talks' and 'Money Talks (Full Version)', and it came out in 1981. There were also a couple of albums by Elite, 'Any Port In A Storm' (LAS-3301; 1979) and '3 Of Sand And 1 Of Cement' (LAS-3302; 1982). Thanks to Nicholas Hough for supplying the scan.
