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.
