GOOD VIBRATIONS INTERNATIONAL



An offshoot of Terri Hooley's 'Good Vibrations' label (q.v.), from Belfast.  The main Good Vibrations label featured 'home grown' bands, whereas its International sibling was reserved for bands from elsewhere.  It seems to have run to just five releases, which were generally numbered in a GVI GOT-0 series.  'Original Terminal' b/w 'The Iceburn' by The Jets was numbered GV1002, presumably as the result of a misprint; its label lacked the 'international' too, but the number more or less fits into the series and in any case the band was from Luton.  The pressing marks on several of the singles suggest that manufacture was by EMI (Ireland?) (1), but The Jets' single was pressed by Phonodisc (2).  The label design echoed that of Good Vibrations but had the appropriate text added.  Thanks to Robert Bowes for the first scan, and to James Denholm for putting me right about The Jets' record.
