In the 1970s, a time when even The Sex Pistols were on a major label, the true act of rebellion was to release music independently.
This episode looks back to a time when the independent labels transformed from cottage industries into real businesses.
The last episode of a series exploring British indie music looks at dance music's influence, the Britpop era and the emergence of new labels in the late 90s.
