RMA
Apparently a one-off DIY label. An EP by Barry Richards featuring
'Mona Lisa' and three other tracks seems to have been RMA's only release.
It had a catalogue number of RMA-101; there is no date on the label but my
copy has '1978' handwritten on the label, which may well be the year in
which the record came out. The material on it is fairly typical Club /
Cabaret fare, though 'Mona Lisa' calls Shakin' Stevens to mind and is a cut
above the average. The EP was engineered by Roy Neave, who
worked at Fairview Studios of Hull, suggesting that the EP originated there; the
reference to Gough & Davy of Hull on the label provides a bit of support for
that theory.
