DBM
A DIY label from 1979, and
no relation to the mid-'80s DBM. A Christmas single by Dave
Miller pairing 'Santa's Lament' with 'First Christmas Together' seems to have
been DBM's only release; the chirpy 'Lament' sounds like a distant relative
of 'Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour On The Bedpost Overnight' and is
built around a double entendre, while 'First Christmas' is straightforward and
sincere. The single was made through custom recording firm Ellie Jay,
as its matrix number (EJSP-9314) indicates. Pressing was by Lyntone; one
of that company's numbers, LYN-7545, is in the run-off.
