An independent concern from the Punk / New Wave years, Dubious was based in Hounslow. It issued just two 7" records, including one by the band Scissor Fits - the 'Taut? Tense? Angular?' EP, featuring 'I Don't Want To Work For British Airways' (SJP-793; 1978) - and a single by a member of that band, Bud Drago, 'Resident Alien' (DUB-2 / SJP-794, 10/79). 'Music Master' lists several subsequent singles by the likes of the Yodelling Hoovers and the Whoopee Cushions, but I am assured by Steve of the Lowdownkids site that these do not exist. Both records were made at Fair Deal studio of Hayes, as indicated by the SJP prefixes. Distribution of DUB-2 was by Rough Trade. Thanks to Sam Mauger for the scan.
