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.
