STINGRAB
RECORDS
Stingrab Records was a DIY
label. It managed one single. An EP by a Country group called
Contraband, the tracks on it were versions of 'If Not You', 'Old Shep', 'Apache'
and 'Gypsy Woman', and it came out in 1977. Its catalogue number was
STINGRAB-23, which suggests that there might be other Stingrabs out there., The
style of the labels suggests that the manufacturer also pressed Alvic
Recordings. There's no obvious connection between this band and the
band of the same name who had a single out on Pirate Records some six years
earlier, though they were both Country outfits; the vocalist sounds different,
for one thing. Any more information (where the name came from, in
particular - a misprint? Four members, two initials each?) would be
welcome. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
