All these on independent labels. The Ramones first single was released during Summer 1976, I believe, on a major label. So the Damned would be the first UK Punk band to release a single on an independent label.bat29https://www.blogger.com/profile/05128685942183891734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-669976415277227586.post-34418310256851720382022-01-28T08:18:31.693+01:002022-01-28T08:18:31.693+01:00yep, you're right....
