RECORDS
Independent label: Rip-Off Records was a Punk / New Wave independent from Belfast, Rip-Off was established in 1978 by producer George Doherty; it issued some fourteen singles before expiring, which it did in 1980. Numbering was in an RIP-0 series. At least two Rip-Off records, a Various Artists LP called 'Belfast Rock' and a split EP shared by The Sweat and Pretty Boy Floyd & The Gems (RIP-101; 11/79) were handled by Logo / RCA on the mainland; some others were distributed by One Stop or Pinnacle. A single by the Tinopeners, 'Set Me Free' was recorded by Rip-Off but was issued on Logo (GO-375), in October 1979, so it would appear that although the last of the company's singles came out in 1980 the writing must have been pretty well on the wall before then.
