Our first staff-member was Gaylene Martin (who'd worked with RP at Antilles) and we began with three clients - none of whom did interviews (that seemed a good blue-print for a pr company). Ultimately, the company's roster grew and evolved in Coalition a couple of years later when David May (as a 3rd Director) joined. Neil Storey left in 1996/7 and DM not long after. |

All the UK issues I have include EU signifiers such as BIEM/Stemra logos etc. Also, many are labelled "pressed in France" or similar, as Island was now using a multinationals' pressing resources. So, these releases stem from a UK label, but are marked as part of a pan-EU operation. Oggers often submit releases going on where things were pressed, rather than country of issue.''

| |
| − | | |
| − | This section is a dumping ground for information that helps us get a better picture of the relationship between Island and other record companies by looking at aspects of the packaging. Hopefully we can spot trends and deduce facts about Island by transcribing, describing, and examining the catalogue numbers, countries, dates, logos, and fine print. At this point, copyright notices don't seem particularly relevant, but it can be included if you want. We can also hopefully spot trends in the label/logo styles that will help us assess the correct release dates and countries.
