RARECORDS
RECORDS
RARecords was a DIY label. It
managed one single. It issued singles in LRAR-0 numerical
series. RARecords, the RAR stands for Rock Against Racism. Alien Kulture
first and only single released was a double A side (on their own label) ‘Asian
Youth/Culture Crossover’. The record suffered from the group’s commitment to
doing everything themselves and the record would probably have done better had
it had a proper producer at the helm. Alien Kulture was formed in South London
in 1980 by Azhar (drums, from Morden), Jonesy (Huw) aka ‘the token white man’
(guitar, from Raynes Park). Pervez (vocals, from Balham) and Zaf (bass, from
Wimbledon). Formed against the backdrop of a winter of discontent, riots in
Southall and Asians being killed on the streets of England the group wanted to
give the Great Britain of the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s a positive image of
Asians. Distributed By RARecords.
