CLIQUE
RECORDS
Clique Records was a DIY label. It managed one
single. It issued singles in PENNINE PSS-000 numerical series. Pennine was
the label of the Pennine recording studio, which was located in Oldham. To
judge from those of its products which I've seen listed, the company seems to
have specialised in custom recordings: they have that typical combination of
high catalogue numbers, obscurity and variety. The label seems to have
been in operation from c.1977-82. Its singles and EPs were numbered in a
PSS-100 (later a PS-7100) series; its LPs shared the same series without the
'7'. I have yet to find any number lower than PSS-131, which suggests that
the numbers may have started there. Apart from the fact that it made the
first record by Joy Division, 'An Ideal For Living' (PSS-139; 1978), which came
out on the Enigma label, Pennine's main claim to fame was that it was
responsible for 'Where Are All The Nice Girls' by New Wave band Any Trouble
(PSS-7165). The band was later signed by Stiff Records, who reissued the
single. Other singles of possible New Wave interest, such as So
Feww's, 'I'm Not Automatic' (PSS-7179; 1981) were surrounded in the catalogue by
albums by Folk and Cabaret artists, such as Hindle Wakes and Tony Vince.
The discography below lists all the Pennine records found so
