ATOMIC (AR prefix)
This Atomic label was owned by Vincent Crane, of Atomic
Rooster fame. Crane himself was responsible for 'Fire Fighter' b/w
'Crazy 'Bout My Baby' which was issued under the name Green Goddess and was recorded at the time of the firemen's
strike in 1977. Despite the catalogue number, AR-1007, it would
appear that that was Atomic's only release. According to an information
slip that came with my copy, Crane - who had mental issues - slipped through
barriers at Stonehenge on Boxing Day to place a copy on the altar, and
subsequently blamed the single's lack of success on a plot by the government of
the day.
