 Independent label: Charnel Records managed at least two singles. It issued singles in CADAVER and SARCOPHAGI-0 numerical series. Distributed By Charnel Records.
 Anti Establishment Formed as Cardiac Arrest in Epping, Essex, in 1978. They changed their name when found out about another band with same name. They recorded three singles, all produced by Rat Scabies. Their original bassist Matt Johnson later founded The The. Band Members Were Gavin Griton - voice, Kevin "Gluey"Read - bass, Nick Freeston - drums, Haggis - guitar. Special Duties was created in October 1977 by schoolfellows Steve Green (Aka Arrogant), Steve Norris (Aka Duty) and Nigel Baker. They were punks at school, but the idea of forming their own band came when they saw The Adverts in Colchester. The fact that the three schoolboys couldn't play and didn't own any instruments didn't discourage them. They decided to put Arrogant on vocals, Duty on guitar and Baker on Bass. The band was originally going to be named X-pelled, but they switched to Special Duties when a box of around 200 badges with "Special Duties" printed on them which had been stolen from a school in Colchester came into their possession.
