SMC



A small independent label from the Covent Garden area of London.  An EP by renowned Bangladeshi singer Sabina Yasmin appears to have been SMC's sole release.  It came out in 1978 and was made through Lyntone (q.v.); its matrix numbers were LYN-5395 and 5396.  In addition to the tracks shown on the scan above it offered a Bangladeshi version of 'Ali!  Ali!' and 'Sampan Wala'.  According to the notes on the sleeve Muhammad Ali had visited Bangldesh earlier in the year; a film had been made to commemorate the visit, and 'Ali!  Ali!' was taken from the soundtrack.  Thanks to Steviebgoode of the 45Cat site for letting me know about SMC and for permission to use his scan here.
