Another independent label from the Punk era. Shattered released at least six singles during 1979-80, starting with the Fragments' minimalist synthesiser version of 'Nutbush City Limits' (SHAT-1; 11/79). Unusually the company numbered its second single, 'Born Yesterday', by the Running Dogs, 'SHAT-1½', before returning to the more customary numbering sequence with SHAT-2, the Fragments', 'Some Other Guy'. Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan, which dates from 1980. The few records that I have seen pictured have been pressed in France, which happened quite a lot at that time.
