US / UNIVERSAL SPIRIT
RECORDS
US Records was a DIY label. And
the successor to the Helpless Huw's 'Universal Spirit' label. US seems to
have been responsible for just one record, Huw's own 'Sid Vicious Was Innocent'
EP (US-002; 1979). In addition to the title track the EP featured 'Going
Through The Motions', 'Baby We're Not In Love' and When You're Weary'. The
label on one side of the EP was coloured orange with black printing; it was of a
plain design, very similar to that of Universal Spirit, and it had 'US' at the
top. The other label was white, and had a cartoon of Sid Vicious and Nancy
Spungen on it. The recording was done in Aldridge, at Ginger
Studios. US-001, which was also by Helpless Huw - or Helpless Hew as the
label credit has it - came out on Universal Spirit. Distributed By Big
Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
