MAQUIS
Another of those labels which only just made it on to this
site. The only Maquis single that I have happened upon so far is
'Kidnapped', by New Wave band The Resistance (GAT-413), which was issued in
December 1979, through Pye and Faulty Products. It seems to be
fairly readily available even thirty years on, so it must have sold in some
quantity. That single apart, there don't appear to be any other
Maquis records around. Did the numbering start at 400 or 410, or was
the Resistance record a one-off? Pressing appears to have been by
CBS, to judge from the layout of the matrix number in the
run-off. There was a Belgian single by a group called Rezistance on a
Maquis label ('Dance On'; MR-001); perhaps that may be of some relevance.
