CJW
RECORDS
CJW Records is one of those cases where a label lacks any sort of
identification and I've had to list it under its catalogue prefix. CJW
appears to have been responsible for just the one record, an EP called
'Craftsman's Art & Music's Measure' by the Choir of Hexham Abbey under
musical director Terence Atkinson. It was made in order to raise funds for
the renovation of the abbey's organ. Tracks on the EP were of a suitably
devotional nature: 'Angel Voices Ever Singing', 'Behold The Tabernacle Of God',
'God Is Gone Up With A Merry Noise', 'Hide Not Thy Face From Us O Lord',
'Rejoice In The Lord Alway' (sic), and 'The Duteous Day Now Closeth'.
Manufacture was by Pye, the year of issue was probably 1971 - according to the
picture cover the tracks were recorded in July of that year - and the catalogue
number was CJW-100. Distributed By CJW Records. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
