NO WONDER



A DIY label, owned by Punk group the Newtown Neurotics, of Harlow.  No Wonder issued at least five singles during 1979-84, including three by that band.  The first of them, the Neurotics' own 'Hypocrite' b/w 'You Said No', has a matrix number of SRTS/79/CUS-363, showing it to be an SRT custom recording; it is also listed in 'Music Master' as having the catalogue number A-45 - which does actually appear on the label - and being distributed by Pinnacle.  No Wonder seems to have gone into hibernation for 1982-83; the Neurotics were signed to another label for that period.  Presumably when their contract expired they revived their own label.  Thanks to Sam Mauger for the scan.
