RECORDS
Independent label from the Punk / New Wave years: Skeleton Records was run by John Weaver, the owner of a record shop of that name in Birkenhead. The label ran from 1978-81, and issued at least seven singles, in an SKL-000 numerical series, and two albums. Its first release was, 'Strange Thoughts', by the Stopouts (SKL-001; 12/78); its second was a Various Artists EP entitled 'The Blank Tapes - Volume 1" (SKL-002; 1979); both were pressed by Lyntone, the matrix numbers being LYN-5913 and LYN-7603 respectively. The remainder of the issues were released in the '80s. The 1978/9 releases had paper labels with all the information on the 'A' side and a picture on the 'B'; the two from the '80s were pressed in France and had red injection-moulded labels. At least some of these records were distributed by Pinnacle and / or Rough Trade. The shop was still going (2010), apparently.
