VOID
RECORDS
Void Records was a DIY label from the Punk / New Wave
era. It managed one singles an SRT custom pressing SRTS/79/CUS/560.
VOID-1 was the Blanks' 'The Northern Ripper', which was released in
1979. Was there a VOID-2? The Blanks came from
Peterborough, so it seems safe to assume that Void did as well. Distributed
By Void Records. The Blanks were from Peterborough and were Neil Singleton
(vocals), Andy Jackson (guitar), Allen Adams (bass) and Andy Butler (drums),
though they were listed under the pseudonyms of Fats O'Grady, Jah Nimrod, Arthur
Mullard and Winston Nkomo on the back sleeve of their only single Great record
with a cheap & nasty lo-fi production, the intro to 'The Northern Ripper'
features a chilling message taped from a news bulletin which claimed to be the
voice of the then still at large Yorkshire Ripper. Allen Adams later played bass
in early 80's hardcore band the Destructors, a version of 'The Northern Ripper'
can be heard on their 1983 live LP Thanks to Robert Lyons For
The Info.
