A companion label to Thomas Leer's 'Oblique' (q.v.). Regular issued just the one record, a self-financed seminal Electronic single by Robert Rental, called 'Paralysis' (ER-102; 1978). ER-101 was Leer's 'Private Plane', which came out on Oblique. In common with many DIY labels, Regular just had a white label with the credits but on with ink-stamps. Leer and Rental had come down from Scotland to London together around 1977; they collaborated on an album, 'The Bridge', and were prominent figures on the early 'Synth / Industrial' scene. Both singles were reissued by Company Records (q.v.) on the Company / Oblique and Company / Regular labels. Thanks to Sam Mauger for drawing the label to my attention, and to Paul Winsall for providing the scan.
