ONE OFF
RECORDS
Independent label: 1-Off Records was a short-lived
subsidiary of Stiff Records. It started out in February 1978, with the
Subs', 'Gimme Your Heart' (OFF-1); it got as far as OFF-4, The Realists', 'I've
Gotta Heart (6/78), but doesn't appear to have got much further. Distributed
By EMI Records. Ernie Graham was born in Belfast on the 14 June 1946 and
died 27 April 2001, was training to be a mechanic, when he joined his first band
Tony & the Telstars in 1965, as rhythm guitarist. In the early 1980s, he
tried forming a band with Larry Pratt, who had briefly been a member of Clancy,
but when this failed, he gave up being a professional musician, worked on the
railways, including as a guard on the Orient Express, and was training to become
a counsellor, but his "strong alcohol dependence" caused his health to fail, and
he died in London in April 2001. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
