PEOPLE UNITE
RECORDS

Independent label: People Unite Records was a musicians' co-operative; mainly a vehicle for Reggae band Misty In Roots, though it did put out one single by Punk band The Ruts, 'In A Rut' (RUT-1; 6/79).  People Unite issued singles infrequently from 1978 until at least 1988, sometimes in 12" form.  Initially they were numbered in the SJP-700s - a numerical series belonging to Stuart Johnson's 'Fair Deal' studios (see 'Clubland') - but this soon was replaced by variations on the PU-000s.  Two different label designs were used, but only one and its variants, as shown, appear on 7" records from the 1970s; The Ruts' single has two matrix numbers, SJP-795 and LYN-6202, which suggests that the recording was made by Fair Deal studios and the pressing was done by Lyntone.  It was issued twice, the first pressing having a catalogue number of SJP-795 and a black border around the label.  Distributed By People Unite Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
