STAY ALIVE
RECORDS
Stay Alive Records was a DIY label. In the early '70s
Jason Conrad of Matlock came up with the concept of the Green Cross Code Man,
and developed it with the assistance of ROSPA. Clad in the costume he took
his 'Stay Alive Show' to schools in Derbyshire in 1974 before touring nationwide
with it. The single shown, 'Little Danny Jones' b/w 'The New Revolution
Think' was presumably associated with the show. Its catalogue number was
JC-28, and it was pressed by Pye. There's no date on the label but the
'Collecticus' site puts it at 1975, which seems reasonable. Jason Conrad
didn't feature in the television campaign; the actor who did that job was David
Prowse, who later went over to the dark side and played Darth Vader in 'Star
Wars' films. Distributed By Stay Alive Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For
