OLD KNEW WAVE



Another Independent company from the Punk / New Wave years.  Old Knew Wave issued a handful of singles, in a BOG-000 series, in 1978-79, the only one of which to be seen at all regularly is Keith Armstrong's, 'An Amazing Grace' b/w 'Space Boogie' (BOG-003 / 004; 1978).   According to 'Music Master distribution was by Small Wonder, One Stop or Rough Trade.  Billboard of the 17th of Decemeber 1977 reports that the Keith Armstrong record was to be the label's first release, so it would appear that the numbers BOG-001 and 002 were not used.  The scan comes by courtesy of Robert Bowes.  The label colour and design varied (some were red), but the 'holes' and the credits at the side seem to have been constant.
