TIME BOMB (EXPLOSIONS)
A DIY Punk label from Scotland. Time Bomb Explosions's only
release of the '70s was Fire Exit's, 'Time Wall' b/w 'Talkin' About Myself'
(TBE-1), which came out in August 1978. The labels were blank white
ones with information stamped on them with what seems to have been a John Bull
printing outfit - a common DIY ploy. According to the sleeve the 'company'
was called Timebomb Records at that point. TBE-2, 'Sailor's Cry' by a
related band called Serpents Of Love, didn't appear until 1987; the sleeve of
that record has the words 'Another TimeBomb Explosions Record' on it, which
seems to imply that the first single was also a TimeBomb Explosions
record. Thanks to Stephen Small for bringing that record to my
attention. The label reappered in the CD era when Fire Exit got together
again.
