A1 (2)



This second A1 label was one of the many short-lived DIY labels of the Punk / New Wave era.  It was based in Linlithgow, West Lothian, and it issued two self-financed seven-inches, both by Edinburgh Punk band Freeze.  First to appear was an EP, 'In Colour' featuring the tracks 'Paranoia', 'For J.P.S.' and 'Psychodalek Nightmares' (A1-1A1; 9/79); it was followed by a single, 'Celebration' b/w 'Crossover' (A1-1S1; 1980).  Distribution was by Pinnacle.  The band changed its name to Cindytalk in 1982, and moved to London.  Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan.
