BASIC & TYPICAL
RECORDS
Basic & Typical Records was a
DIY label. It managed one single. It issued singles in BAT-0
numerical series. What To Wear started out calling themselves the Disco
Love Bites, Mike Gant, Fred Cleary , Nick Boyle and Rob Thomas first got
together practicing Stooges and Kinks covers, they changed their name to What To
Wear. They were the first Swansea punk band to release a single, the poorly
produced Caual But Smart E.P was released in January 1980 to less than critical
acclaim. While the music showed promise the record failed to do it justice.(
Although the off-centre dish pressing and appalling record cutting didn't help
either). Distributed By Basic & Typical.
