It's not the only record label in the area, either. @JF - what do you know about Topic? Any background?

CELEBRATING OVER 60 YEARS The origins of Topic Records, which has its roots in the Workers Music Association, can be traced back to 1939. In those days, the organisation fostered a belief that music should be used as a tool of revolution, in a cultural and educational sense, and that folk music, passed down through the generations, above all, gave ‘a voice to the people’. Oldest Independent Label in the world

Happy Birthday Topic Records!
