A Reggae label. Catalogue numbers suggest that Manic released at least five singles in 1978-79 in a PFU-1801 series, but there's no sign of PFU-1804. It also issued several 12" singles. Lyntone was responsible for the pressing of the Militant Barry single shown above, 'Pistol Boy' (PFU-1805 / LYN-6427); as the PFU prefix indicates, Manic came under the Plastic Fantastic family (q.v.). Distribution was by Spartan. Mark Griffiths give the owner of the label as being recording engineer Vic Keary, of Chalk Farm studios.
