English cassette and record label Broken Flag was founded in 1982, and whilst not having released anything for a long time, it has never officially ceased to exist. Their primary interest was radical music, noise and power electronics. They first released music by label boss Gary Mundy’s project, Ramleh, but later also by Le Syndicat, MB, Controlled Bleeding, Giancarlo Toniutti and various Mundy solo projects.

Steve Underwood’s text appeared in a 2010 magazine, As Loud As Possible, but it is expanded here with additional interviews; updates; a reprint of two issues of Broken Flag’s fanzine, Even When It Makes No Sense; and reproductions of many of the label’s cassette covers.
