A DIY label, but a very professional-looking one. Damon's, 'Can I Wish You A Merry Christmas' was the only release on the Nomad label; the Damon concerned was Damon Metrebian. A pleasant, Pop-flavoured song, it was reissued on Polydor (2058-815) the following year, though the artist's name was extended to Damon Metro for that release. The narrow dinking perforations and the style of the matrix number suggesnt an EMI pressing. Damon, who is now at Super Bear studios, has kindly got in touch and has added the following:
Nomad Records was my own label (Damon spelled backwards). I can't remember where I had the records pressed, but I believe it was somewhere in Wembley (London). They were all sold at 50p through my dad's shops (a non music outlet). I wanted the label to look as professional as possible and it appears to have worked. After a brief period signed to Polydor, I eventually went on to become a recording studio owner and had a bit if success doing that. I recently set up an online service and will go back into music production later this year.
