NEUTRON
RECORDS
Independent label: From the Sheffield
area. Neutron was started by the members of Minimalist band Vice Versa -
Stephen Singleton, Mark White and David Sydenham in 1979. Sydenham was later
replaced by Martin Fry. Its first release was an EP by Vice Versa, 'Music
4' (PX-1092 / NT-001; 1979); the PX prefix belonged to the pressing company
CJMO. Its second EP (NT-003) featured Vice Versa in company with three
other local bands, including Clock DVA. Later singles used an NT-100
catalogue series. In 1980, looking for a way to open up the market for their
products, the label's owners reached an agreement with majors Phonogram.
Vice Versa evolved into Pop' band ABC; they scored their first Top 20 hit in
1981 with their first single, 'Tears Are Not Enough' (NT-101) and went on to
register hits in both the Singles and Albums charts throughout the decade.
The company devoted its attention to music publishing in the early 90s, and
continues in that business today. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info.
