RECORDS
Mayday Records was a DIY label. It managed one single. It issued singles in MAY-0 numerical series. Distributed By Mayday Records. Lloyd Collection: band of 1985 formed by Mike Lloyd (keys) (ex Neuklon), Mark Birchall (drms) (ex Rafique, later La's), Donna Lowe (voc) (ex Neuklon), Colin McCann (ex Neuklon), Tony Brown, Steve Walsh. Relesed one 7" Maggie's Farm (Mayday Jan 86) as a benefit for Liverpool Council Support Fund & sleeve was designed by Sex Pistols’ artist Jamie Ried. In late '85 they played as a duo with just Lloyd & Birchall. This record is actually a souvenir given away at a gig promoted by Tony Wilson, at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool. This gig has a Factory Records Catalogue number. Fac 152. The gig was titled With Love From Manchester and featured New Order, The Fall, John Cooper Clarke and The Smiths. It was a benefit for the Liverpool Labour Councillors who had just been surcharged to the tune of £100,000 by the district auditor and barred from office. The Lloyd Collection were a local Liverpool band who had been singing Maggies Farm at the protests organised by the Labour Councillors and in fact at the end of the gig all the bands joined together for an encore of Maggies Farm (I'm unsure if the Lloyd Collection joined them onstage) but this record was given away as a souvenir of that event. So this record is the only vinyl associated with Fac 152.
