KONK
RECORDS
Independent label: Konk Records was a rather short-lived label
run by Ray Davies of the Kinks and featuring productions by various members of
that band. Ray and Dave Davies and Tony Dimitriades was the
joint-owners of the label. There was a studio in North London associated
with the label. Konk achieved the distinction of releasing the first
records by Tom Robinson, who was at that time a member of a group called Cafe
Society. Singles were numbered in the KOS-0s. Marketing was by Anchor, who
were also responsible for organizing pressing and distribution; both of these
were by EMI originally - the demo is in the typical EMI style - and latterly by
CBS. The label made a fleeting reappearance in 1981, in injection moulded
form, for a single by the Kinks, 'Predictable' (ARISTA-426). Thanks to
