AIRPORT
RECORDS
Airport was one of the many DIY labels that sprung up during the
Punk / New Wave era, but it was a comparatively prolific one. It was an
outlet for records by Punk group Jeep, from Hounslow, and was owned by
them. Catalogue numbers suggest that Airport put out six singles but one
of the numbers, AIRP-4, appears not to have been used. Only the first
single, 'Wild Rover' b/w 'Lark In The Dark' (AIRP-001; 11/79) - a Punk version
of the old Irish song - was from the Seventies; it proved commercial enough to
be given a re-release, and wider distribution, on EMI's 'Cobra' label, in
January 1980, as COB-9. One member of Jeep, Max Splodge, was later to
achieve Chart success with the group Splodgenessabounds. Thanks to
