!!''Radar Records'' provide examples of:
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: While Creator/RadarRecords dealt with several prominent bands, there were several other notable acts that they ''almost'' signed.
** Music/JoyDivision recorded a demo for Genetic Records, a Radar sublabel owned by producer Martin Rushent, before deciding to stick with Creator/FactoryRecords. However, the band's back catalog would eventually wind up distributed by Creator/WarnerMusicGroup on both sides of UsefulNotes/ThePond, along with the band's later incarnation, Music/NewOrder.
** Music/SiouxsieAndTheBanshees negotiated with Radar before ultimately signing with Creator/PolydorRecords.
** The Undertones were rejected by Radar (as well as Stiff and Chiswick) before Creator/SireRecords signed them.
** Radar actually released a single by Robyn Hitchcock's early band The Soft Boys. However, when the group finished their debut album ''A Can of Bees'', the label rejected it and gave it back to them. They eventually released it on their own label.

With Costello and Lowe providing a (seemingly) solid sales base, Lauder began assembling a stable of mostly British acts, with a few Americans and Europeans mixed in. The roster included PunkRock (Music/IggyPop and James Williamson, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Metal Urbain, 999), [[PsychedelicRock psychedelia]]-tinged NewWaveMusic (The Soft Boys), PowerPop (Yachts, Bram Tchaikovsky, Pezband), HardRock (The Good Rats), British R&B (The Inmates), {{Rockabilly}} (Ray Campi, Mac Curtis), {{Krautrock}} (Music/LaDusseldorf), NewRomantic (Music/{{Visage}}), and even a SingerSongwriter (Loudon Wainwright III) and RecordedAndStandUpComedy (Film/NationalLampoon). Lauder also signed Music/ThePopGroup, whose AvantGardeMusic reportedly scared WEA's American labels away from distributing the label there. (Radar eventually signed a licensing deal with US Creator/{{Polydor|Records}} that included the Inmates, the Yachts and Bram Tchaikovsky.) Radar also did some interesting reissues, including a 12" EP of early Music/PereUbu singles, GarageRock from the WEA catalogue (The Shadows of Knight, The Electric Prunes) and PsychedelicRock from the UsefulNotes/{{Texas}} label International Artists (Music/The13thFloorElevators[[note]]Lauder had tried to sign the Elevators to UK Liberty, but their manager wanted too much money[[/note]], The Red Krayola; Radar also released an album and single by the late 70s version of the Krayola).
