A DIY label; one of those cases where there was no label identification on either the sleeve or the record, leaving me to have to name it after the band. This particular They Must Be Russians was an Electronic Punk band from Sheffied - there was another outfit of that name from Royal Windsor, which was partly responsible for a split single on Gemme Records (q.v.). The Sheffield band made this self-financed EP containing 'Nagasaki's Children' and three other tracks (RUS-001; 1979) before moving on to record a maxi-single for Fresh Records (q.v.) the following year. The EP had blank white labels with red and green paper dots stuck to one of them. The matrix number, LYN-6714, indicates a Lyntone pressing. Thanks to Jon Downing for the label scan.
