 Dummy Records was a DIY label. Formed by Andy Pandemonium. It managed two singles. It issued singles in VB-100 and one on Sycamore Studios In Swansea, Wales. SRS-000 numerical series. Distributed By Dummy Records. Andy Pandemonium was formed in the late summer of 1979 in the South Wales industrial town of Llanelli.  The band members had played together previously in various combinations on the local scene, but the summer of 1979 saw keyboard player Paul “Nick” Nicholas write a series of distinctive songs that effectively combined the eccentricity of the less self-indulgent aspects of 1970s British rock with the urgency and energy of the post-punk new wave.  Nick had previously featured in Llanelli-based folk rockers Carraig Aonair alongside drummer Pete Mason, and the pair had previously played with guitarist John “Sioni” Davies and bassist Gareth Phillips in numerous local ventures.  Aware of the need for audience friendly presentation of the material, the band decided to recruit singer, sax-player, accordionist and all round dramatic performer Roj to complete the line up. in August 1980 with the release of their first single, “I’m Just a Dummy For Your Love” backed with “Living in Flats”.  The record appeared on the band’s own Dummy label, and attracted substantial airplay on BBC Radio Wales, Swansea Sound and Cardiff’s CBC. the band’s second single, “Controlling Factor”, which appeared in September 1981.
