RED BERET
RECORDS
Red Beret Records was a DIY
label. It managed two singles. An SRT custom pressing SRT cat number
REB 1 - S83CUS1672. It issued singles in REB-0 numerical series.
Exit was Formed in July 1977 as EXIT, their first gig, in November 1978, ended
in a riot with the band attacked by the audience and their equipment smahed up.
the riot made news headlines in the north of England and resulted in a trial at
Lincoln Crown court. The presiding judge (who must have been at the gig) said
the band had given "a disgusting performance" and that "it was a disgusting
incident which is all too prevalent". the publicity resulted in a BBC Radio
Humberside recording session in March 1979. They played 10 gigs, mainly in pubs
& village halls around South Humberside and Lincolnshire but all very well
attented due the high profile media publicity sparked off by the riot and the
BBC session. The
original trio re-formed in December 1981, soon afterwards becoming a 4-piece
with a 'poppier' sound, including organ and second guitar. they released a
single, "Planetoid Passion" in 1983 on the Red Beret label. In 1984 EXIT
released another single "The Bite Of Winter"(Red Beret).
