NEUTRON
RECORDS
Independent label: From the Sheffield area. Neutron was started by the members of
Minimalist band Vice Versa - Stephen Singleton, Mark White and David Sydenham in
1979. Sydenham was later replaced by Martin Fry. Its first release
was an EP by Vice Versa, 'Music 4' (PX-1092 / NT-001; 1979); the PX prefix
belonged to the pressing company CJMO. Its second EP (NT-003)
featured Vice Versa in company with three other local bands, including Clock
DVA. Later singles used an NT-100 catalogue series. In 1980,
looking for a way to open up the market for their products, the label's owners
reached an agreement with majors Phonogram. Vice Versa evolved into
Pop' band ABC; they scored their first Top 20 hit in 1981 with their first
single, 'Tears Are Not Enough' (NT-101) and went on to register hits in both the
Singles and Albums charts throughout the decade. The company devoted
its attention to music publishing in the early 90s, and continues in that
business today. ABC are an English pop band formed in Sheffield in 1980. Their
classic line-up consisted of lead singer Martin Fry, guitarist and keyboardist
Mark White, saxophonist Stephen Singleton and drummer David Palmer. Developed
from an earlier band, Vice Versa, ABC achieved ten UK and five US Top 40 hit
singles between 1981 and 1990, and their 1982 debut album, The Lexicon of Love,
was a UK number one. Their early-1980s success in the US saw them associated
with the Second British Invasion.[4][5] Now essentially a solo project for Fry,
ABC continues to tour and released a ninth studio album, The Lexicon of Love II,
in 2016. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info. Distributed By
