RED ADMIRAL
Red Admiral was the label of Europa Sound Studios, of
Folkestone. It was owned by Chris Ashman and Mike Craig, and it
issued singles, EPs, LPs and cassettes sporadically from 1979 to around
1986. The singles, of which there were four, were numbered in a
NYMPH-000 series; only NYMPH-001, Arthur Kay's 'Ska-Wars', is from the
'70s. The recordings covered various genres, from the Ska of
Arthur Kay through Religious songs by David and Graham to a spoken word album on
how to pass your driving test. The label was revived in 2004; its
website can be found here. Thanks
