DNS
RECORDS
Independent label: DNS issued a handful of records in
or around 1979. Four-track EPs of popular songs; typical custom pressing
Numbering was slightly peculiar: the DNS prefix was followed by a number which
seems to consist of the month of recording (or of issue) plus the last two
digits of the year plus the actual number of the record. Thus the
Tini McKenna EP is DNS-47901, while a Tony Fellini EP from later in the year is
numbered DNS-117907. DNS-87903, 'Played Out Angel' by Leargo,
appeared on the Motor City Rhythm label. The producer of the first EP was Norman
Stagles, from whose initials the 'NS' in 'DNS' may well have been
derived. In 1978 Mr. Stagles appears to have been producing records
at the Tank studios, in Warwick, which did custom recording, so perhaps DNS was
a Tank offshoot. Unless he reads this, DNS's origins are likely to remain
obscure and the question of whether or not there were any DNS releases in or
after 1980 is likely to remain
unanswered. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
