An independent label, owned by Steve Guy-Clark. Trial operated from 1979-c.84, during which period it issued at least eight singles. Numbering was in a CASE-0 series; an initial yellow label (1) had been replaced by a less bright but more decorative blue-and-silver design by the time CASE-4 came out. The first three Trial singles were by Suffolk NWOBHM band Trespass, whose 'One Of These Days' b/w 'Bloody Moon' (CASE-1; 12/79) provided the label with its only release of the 1970s.
