Rondelet Records was a British independent record label started by Alan Campion,[1] who owned a record shop in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in the early 1980s. The label published many punk groups including:
- Special Duties[2][3]
- The Threats
- Deadman's Shadow
- Riot Squad
- Anti-Pasti[2]
The label also featured some bands from the new wave of British heavy metal, including Witchfynde,[1] who toured with Def Leppard in their early days.
The label had some success with Special Duties, Anti-Pasti and Witchfynde, whose songs and albums reached the national charts. However, by the mid-1980s the label folded, though some of the bands are still touring today.
