Merciful Release

Merciful Release is a record label of sorts. No one say "vanity publishing". Kinda worked out well, though.

Unrelated Releases

Number:	Date:	Group:	Title:	Type:	comments:
MR2	1980	The Syndromes vs The Merciful Release All-Stars Featuring The Impossible Dreamers	Ready In The Rhythm Section	LP	Appears to be unrelated to the Sisters, except for the fact that the label name is the same. Certainly there is no pentagram-and-head logo. Contact address for the label was 78 Sussex Sq, London W2. Groove inscriptions "A porky prime cut", "For swinging potatoes", "Half baked pop music".
