Another mysterious label. Mad Dan released at least one single in 1978, John Martin Harvie's, 'Song For Caroline' (MDS-1001), and followed it up with a couple more in the following year. That single also appears twice in 'New Singles' leaflets, for the 28th of July and the 29th of September 1978, which agrees with the year that is given on the label. Submarine Records (whoever they were) were responsible for manufacture and distribution. Music Master gives an issue date of July 1979, via distributors Lugtons, but that would appear to be the time at which Lugtons started handling the record. 'MM' also gives the label as 'Submarine', which may just be a misunderstanding. Robert Bowes, who kindly supplied the scan, says that the single can be filed under 'Folk'. The other two singles were 'Just Another Cloud In The Sky' by Weatherman (MDS-1002) and Jon Morgan's 'Don't Go Loving Me Now' (MDS-1003). The label of the latter was white with black printing.
