SURGERY
A DIY Punk label. Surgery appears to have been
owned by Punk band The Surgeons, from Harrow. Its sole release was
that band's, 'Sid Never Did It' (S-100), which came out in 1979. The
label was one of those minimum-cost plain white ones, upon which the credits
were hand-stamped, as shown by the scan which Steve Hill has kindly
provided. However, a couple of examples of more ambitious, printed,
labels, were sent to Paul Winsall with his copy of single, which suggests that
at one time the band had more ambitious plans. Thanks to him for
sending scans of those labels and of the covering letter. I have
given them a black surround for the sake of clarity.
