A label with a modest beginning but a long history. Outer Himmilayan's first release was a DIY EP by The Magits, 'Fully Coherent' (SRTS/79/CUS401; 1979); the picture above is a facsimile of its label, not an actual scan, but it is to all intents and purposes accurate. After The Magits split, Nick Blinko formed another band, the 'Anarcho Punk' outfit Rudimentary Peni, and he revived Outer Himmilayan in 1981, mainly as an outlet for recordings by that band. It continued to serve that function through the '80s and the '90s and into the 2000s, though releases were somewhat sporadic.
