This site is probably the only one in the universe to count Winds Of Change as a label in its own right, but when I started putting the site together one of the rules that I decided upon was that 'vanity' labels - ones designed, usually by major companies, to give records by favoured bands a distinct identity - didn't qualify to be treated separately unless they featured the band's name twice: as a logo and separately as the artist. Ninety-nine percent of them - those used for records by Queen, Buzzcocks and 999 to name but three - failed that test, but Winds Of Change passed it. The single by the band, 'Sneakin' Up Behind You' b/w 'The Girl With The Flaxen Hair' (EMI-2996; 10/79), was the only record to bear the special label - their LP, 'Illusions' (EMI-791; 1979) had the usual EMI one.
