OK
(2)
A subsidiary of Scottish label Klub (q.v.). The
only OK single to emerge in the 1970s was the one shown above, 'Rangers Easy
O.K.' b/w 'We'll Be With You' by Blue Boy, which came out in April 1979 with a
catalogue number of OK-791. Subsequently OK
seems to have served as Klub's 'Pop' label. Its other records appeared
in the 1980s and were numbered in the OK-000s. OK-002, 'Steal A Piece Of
My Heart' b/w 'Lonely' by 1971 Chart-toppers Middle Of The Road, was issued in October 1980;
the pace of releases was slow but steady, with
007 not coming out till 1984. OK-010, 'Only The Light' b/w 'You Came
Into My life' by Rikki, arrived in April 1987 and was the British Eurovision entry
for that year. By 1989 the numbers had reached 025. Distribution in the '70s
and early '80s was by Pye / PRT. Stephen Small
has kindly pointed out that the Blue Boy single can be found
on Klub with the same OK catalogue number, presumably due to a
re-pressing.
