SQUAD
A
DIY label, from Coventry. Squad was owned by the Punk band of that
name, and it seems to have acted as a vehicle for records by them. At
least two singles appeared on the Squad label, which isn't bad going for a DIY
concern. Those singles included the band's own, 'Red Alert' (SQS-1;
9/78), and 'Mi££ionaire' (SQS-2; 1979). 'Red Alert' was recorded by Tank
Studios, and had a matrix number of BSS-333; it had a picture of the band on the
label. Both sides of 'Mi££ionaire' had a white label with the band's name
occupying most of the top half. Thanks to Nicholas Hough for the
scan.
