PSYCHO
RECORDS

Independent label: Psycho Records issued several Punk singles but also ventured into other areas of music.  Its first release, The Majors', 'Spookey Stomp' (P-2601; 5/78), was a funky sort of thing, and Pop band Stavely Makepeace, under the alias of Heavy Cochran, had a couple of rude singles out on the label, while the singles by Devina and by the Foundations are apparently sought-after by Northern Soul collectors.  Simon Cohen produced several of the singles; if, as seems highly probable, the record company borrowed its name from the first parts of his name, it's a good bet that it was his company.  Psycho survived until at least the summer of 1979, issued more than a dozen singles, and changed label designs at P-2614, the question mark shrinking and migrating to the top of the label.   Distribution of some of the early singles was by Lugton / H. R. Taylor; Spartan took over that job in mid '78.  The discography below contains several gaps, which may be down to the missing numbers not being used. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
