FRESH
HOLD RELEASES
A DIY label from 1979-80. Fresh Hold Releases was based in
Hornsey. It issued two three-track maxi-singles / EPs
by a duo called Take It, the first of which
featured 'Man Made World', 'Taking Sides' and 'How It Is (Version)'.
That record came out in November 1979, and had a catalogue number of
TR-1. Another three-tracker followed in 1980, and was numbered
FHR-1. Tracks on that disc were 'Twenty Lines', 'Armchairs' and 'Trends
And Relations'. Presumably the group owned the label. Thanks to
Nicholas Hough for supplying the scan, which shows that that record was pressed
in France - a common practise for small concerns at that time.
