OCTANE
Another obscure one. Octane appears to have been the record
label of Martingale Music, of Leytonstone. It issued at least one single,
Yancey's, 'Standing Waiting' (HS-302; 9/79), which is in Power Pop
territory. The single shared a HS-300 numerical series with those of
Hammer Records (q.v.), which was a member of the Pye family.
Googling reveals no other Octanes. Manufacture and distribution were by
Pye.
