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.  Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info
