I have seen this name around, and get the vibe they were rather important in their time. But the information is extremely obscure and discogs only list three tapes. Could anyone shed some light onto the history of this label? Thanks much.

The name for Trev Ward and DAP of the Grey Wolves' label before it became Zeal SS, then Open Wound, Order Ov Wolves, many other names used over the years. As well as industrial/electronics they distributed some more musically conventional but still underground material - very much part of the whole post-punk and anarchist influenced home taping network. I still have some great cassettes from back then, and I remember the largely forgotten Cause For Concern as being an especially notable label.

I didn't get in contact with Trev until later in the 80s around the time of his legendary and great zine Brutal Love but do remember getting a flyer for Anal Probe and finding the name rather bemusing and offputting, I must have been about 14.
