M &
S
Nothing to do with Marks & Spencer,
M&S was a DIY label from the Punk years. It operated out of
Brighton, and issued at least one single, 'Avenue' b/w 'Night Caller', by the
Fan Club (SJP-791; 1978). The 'M' may well refer to Paul Milo, who
produced the record; if that is the case then presumably the label was at least
part-owned by him. The catalogue number was one of a series
that was used by Fair Deal Studios, the custom recording company which
was responsible for recording the single, and can more commonly be found on
records on the Clubland label (q.v.); it wasn't specific to M&S
records. The scan appears by courtesy of Col. Wolfe, of the 45cat
site.
