RECORDS
Bumpkin Records was a small independent label from the West Country. Bumpkin put out at least three records during the period 1977-78, starting with a self-titled album by Bollards (BL-069; 1977). As the material on that album was apparently heavy on the double-entendres it's likely that the '69' of the catalogue number didn't indicate that there had been sixty-eight previous Bumpkin releases. A couple of singles followed, their numbers carrying on from that of the album. Tickle supplied 'Mr. Strange' b/w 'Doing It The Way It's Done' (BL-070; 1977) before Bollards surfaced again with a football supporters' song, 'Follow The Rovers' b/w 'Lottie' (BL-071). There were more records on a Bumpkin Records label in the mid '80s, but while the content was similar - the group involved was Shag Connors & The Carrot Crunchers - the design was different and I haven't found any link between the two companies as yet.
