And they had a small part to play in the growing amount of music being
produced at the time. Many bands were forming in the late 70's who were
unable to get record deals from cautious major labels. Bands such as
Desperate Bicycles, Television Personalities started to produced their own
singles on their own labels. Scritti Politti's first single took this one stage
further. _Skank Bloc Bologna_ had a detailed breakdown of all the production
costs involved in producing the record on a photocopied outer sleeve, showing
how easy the whole process could be. Of course small independent labels,
such as Rough Trade, Small Wonder, Zoo, Pop Aural and Postcard were also
instumental in encouraging the explosion of bands in the wake of the whole
punk thing.
