Northern Irish label that released some notable singles including those by
Clive Culbertson and The Singles,
as well as a lot of showband stuff that'd kill your average
KBD collector stone dead.
The label changed from green to blue around 1980 but kept the familiar wrapped sweet logo. This changed
to the block MINT logo with the 'i' beneath the centre hold by the mid-80s. Picture sleeves on some releases
do exist but they are not common.
