COASTAL MUSIC STUDIOS
RECORDS
Independent label: Coastal Music
Studios Ltd operated out of premises at 1, Royal Terrace, Lowestoft, and offered
tape-to-disc services, commercial pressings and the provision of masters.
The only record credited to the company is the one shown, which is of what is
presumably an original tune called 'Annie King (Farmer's Daughter)' by organist
Rowland Barber with accompaniment by drummer Bernard Herd - the other side
appears to have just a continuous tone on it. The catalogue number, YRS
SP-02, indicates that the record was made through Yarmouth Recording
Studios. The components of the matrix number in the run-off are separated
by plus signs, which is usually an indication of an Orlake pressing, but the
Yarmouth studios had their own pressing plant, the Anglia Pressing Company, and
the marks on the label look more like Anglia ones than Orlake ones - perhaps the
disc was cut at Orlake and pressed at Anglia? See 'Emmex' and 'Notch' for
other examples. Presumably there are other Coastal Music Studios records
out there, but pressing runs are likely to have been small.
