BGS CHORD / COUNTRY HOUSE /
SCOTDISC
RECORDS
Independent label: BGS Productions operated out of
Strathaven, in Scotland, in the 1970s; the company was later to move to Kilsyth,
Glasgow. It operated at least two labels, BGS Chord and Country House;
singles and albums on both labels shared the same BGC-100 numerical series,
though later singles had a '7S' between the prefix and the number. Not many
BGS records appear in catalogues or online, which makes giving dates of
operation difficult. Dougie Stevenson has kindly given a start date: its
first records came out in 1973. The green-labelled Ovation single,
'Lovey Dovey' (BGC-139), has a matrix number of DER-1222, which, if it
is one of the series used by Deroy would give a year of release of
1975, which seems about right. Alan Grant's 'Story Of A Starry Night'
(BGC-126), which was undated; its matrix number, DER-1170, would indicate 1974
or 75 for a Deroy pressing. By 1979 the label had acquired a new design,
the single by, Duggie Small's version of the Beatles' 'Get Back' (BGC-244;
1979) was pressed by Lyntone (LYN-7715) and was distributed by
Scotia. 1970s BGS Chord and Country House started at BGS-101. BGS is still
in operation today, issuing records on its 'Scotdisc' label. and the Country
House subsidiary was still operating in the mid '80s. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
