RUBBER
RECORDS

 Independent label: A Folk label, and a subsidiary of Mawson & Wareham Records, of Newcastle.  Although it primarily concentrated on albums, Rubber issued at least eighteen singles starting in 1969. Numbering was initially lettering, as in RUBBER ONE and RUBBER TWO, but by the time of the third release a more conventional ADUB-0 series had been adopted.  Though the label's design remained pretty much the same the colouring and typeface changed now and again, The first single was black with silver printing, by the time ADUB-14 came out (1979) the colour of the label had changed to blue with white printing, and shortly afterwards the typeface and the colours altered again. The occasional Rubber escaped in the 1980s, ADUB-20 appearing in 1988; Rubber's sister-label MWS kept on going and is still in operation today.  Distribution of the ADUBs was by Transatlantic until 1979, when Selecta took over. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info.
