RECORDS
Independent New Wave label from Aberdeen, operating from 1978-83. Oily Records issued at least ten singles, the first of which was The Squibs' 'On The Line' (SLICK-1; 1978). That label on the second single , 'Gotta Make Some Money Somehow' by The Tools (1979), kept the black-on-yellow colouration, but had all the credits and a vastly shrunken logo on the 'B' side and a cartoon of a sheikh's head on the 'A'. The rest of the singles date from the 1980s; their design varied, but many of them kept the small logo. By the time the ninth of them came out the labels had turned red and were injection moulded. Oily Records Former Address: 6 Cedar Place Aberdeen, Scotland. Distributed By Oily Records.
