V-KRIS
A one-off DIY label from the golden age of such things. All
that I know about V-Kris is what can be gleaned from the label: that it issued a
single, 'Okay' b/w 'Trouble With The Law' by Kris, in July 1979; that the
catalogue number was VKR-1; and that the label was based in
Stockport. It seems like a good bet that Chris Statham, who wrote
the song, was also the performer and the owner of the label. The
record was made through SRT, as the matrix number (S 79 CUS-556)
indicates. Thanks to Sam Mauger for the scan and for bringing the
label to my attention.
