History

The Enterprise label was based in Adelaide and evidently released only a handful of singles. The catalogue numbers of the known releases suggest that there were at least four singles issued, although EMS-1001 is not yet been identified.

The two singles recorded by Rashamra(1971-72) each made the local charts. Keyboard player Peter Staben states that for most of its short existence Rashamra was the only local band playing all-original material, since it was virtually impossible to get gigs around Adelaide without performing mostly covers.

"Rashamra had a DIY ethic and organised their own shows, gained a fan-base who rushed out and bought their singles, propelling them into the Top 5 on 5KA
