A DIY label, apparently a one-off. In the early '70s Jason Conrad of Matlock came up with the concept of the Green Cross Code Man, and developed it with the assistance of ROSPA. Clad in the costume he took his 'Stay Alive Show' to schools in Derbyshire in 1974 before touring nationwide with it. The single shown above, 'Little Danny Jones' b/w 'The New Revolution Think' was presumably associated with the show. Its catalogue number was JC-28, and it was pressed by Pye. There's no date on the label but the 'Collecticus' site puts it at 1975, which seems reasonable. Jason Conrad didn't feature in the television campaign; the actor who did that job was David Prowse, who later went over to the dark side and played Darth Vader in 'Star Wars' films.
