RINKA



Another one of those late '70s labels which is little more than a name in a catalogue.   Rinka issued at least one single, the Atoms', 'Max Bygraves Killed My Mother' (R-23; 1979).   The high catalogue number suggests that there were other Rinka singles, but their existence seems extremely doubtful - more likely the number was chosen for some personal reason.  Some copies of the Atoms single came with a variety of loose labels; the buyer could stick any one they fancied on to the record.  Thanks to Simon Hughes for the scans - was 'Rinka' the dog's name?
