FREE RANGE
RECORDS
Free Range Records was a DIY label and a subsidiary of
Plastic Fantastic Records, which explains its use of the 'PF'
prefix. Free Range seems to have issued just the one single, 'Never
Wanna Leave', by Punk band The Red Lights (PF-005; 1978). Other records in
the PF-000s appeared on the Plastic Fantastic, Spade and Stag labels. One
thing that sets Free Range apart from all the other labels of the 1970s that I
have seen is that it had the copyright date in Latin numerals - MCMLXXVIII -
which seems a bit posh for a Punk concern. Manufacturing and distribution
were by Pye. The Red Lights hailing from Deptford, London started off life as
The Rats. After venturing into the City with their first appearance at the
legendary Roxy Club. Band Members Ashley Cadell (Guitar) / Andrew McLauchlan
(Vocals) / Andrew Howell (Bass) / Dave McMullen (Drums). Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
