FORD (UK) WORKERS' COMBINE
Apparently a one-off label. The
Ford (UK) Workers' Combine issued a three-track 7" to mark a strike for
better pay and conditions. The tracks on
it were 'The Ford Strike Song' by OHC & The Gappers, George Chriba's
'Johnny Strika', and sounds from 'The Ford Workers March Through London'. All three
were all recorded in October 1978; the first at Easy Street Studios, the others
at the Local Radio Workshop. Presumably the record was issued not
long afterwards. The catalogue number was FUKWC-00001, and the matrix number, S/78/CUS-182,
indicates that the EP was made through
custom recording company SRT. Manufacture was by Orlake.
