NRG



Another one of those independent labels from the late '70s.  NRG was based in Dundee.  It seems to have released just three singles: 'Jerkin', by the Drive (RE-46; 8/1977); 'No Answers, by The Alternators (SRTS/NRG-001; 1/1978); and the Visitors', 'Take It Or Leave It' (NRG-002; 2/1978).  Manufacture was of the second two was through SRT.  The Drive single is listed on some sources as having the number NE-456, but the only labels pictured on google have the RE-46 number.  The RE-40 series appears to have been used by Radio Edinburgh Studios for custom pressings (see REL) so presumably the Drive record was recorded there - it is reported to have been made in Edinburgh.  Thanks to Simon Hughes for the scan.
