An independent label from the Punk / New Wave era. Bancrupt was based in Milton Keynes; it released at least two singles by Left Hand Drive, 'Jailbait' (BECK-611; 1/78), and 'Who Said Rock 'n' Roll Is Dead' (BAN-012; 7/78). The catalogue number of the second suggests that there were at least eleven other singles on the Bancrupt label, but if there were any more than the two Left Hand Drive efforts I'd be very surprised. The BECK-000 numerical series was proper to the the studio which did the recording, Beck Studios, and can be found on a number of different DIY labels, such as D.J. Records (q.v.) Thanks to Sam Mauger for the scans.
