INEVITABLE
An independent label from Liverpool. Most of
Inevitable's records were released in the early 1980s, but it started off in
1979 with Wah! Heat's, Better Scream' (INEV-001). The label never
tasted much success in its own right, but several of its artists - China Crisis,
Dead Or Alive, It's Immaterial, and Wah! - went on to feature repeatedly in the
Charts during the '80s. Despite the fact that it only had one hit
single, China Crisis's, 'African And White' (INEV-011; 1982), Inevitable can
claim that it helped to shape the music of that decade. Label
designs, on later Inevitables at least, seem to have changed from record to
record; and at some point after INEV-011 the first '0' was
dropped. Thanks to Sam Mauger for the scan.
