Another DIY label. Waxworks existed for the sole purpose of making available a single by Hobbies Of Today, 'Metal Boys' (H.O.T. WAX-01; 1979). There were two matrix numbers on the 'A' side run-off, EJSP-9302 and LYN-7438, which were proper to custom recording firm Ellie Jay and manufacturers Lyntone respectively. The Hobbies hailed from Mexborough, and were led by Kevin Hobbi, who owned the label. A discussion of the single can be found on Iain Baker's blog. Thanks to Jon Downing for the scans and for bringing the label to my attention. Jon plans to release a 'lost' Hobbies Of Today single from 1977 in the near future (2014), on the Waxworks label, with a catalogue number of H.O.T.WAX-00 to keep it in sequence.
