A small endependent label from 1979-81. Catalogue numbers suggest that Rat Race put out at least seven singles, but the only one that was from our decade was the first, 'Babies In Jars', by John Ellis. Its catalogue number was RAT-1 and it came out in 1979. Punk band The Vibrators made a couple of singles for Rat Race, 'Gimme Some Lovin'' (RAT-2; 1980) and 'Disco In Mosco' (RAT-4; 10/80). Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scans; the labels varied from record to record, so these shouldn't be taken as standard.
