CP
RECORDS
Independent label: There must be very few who put no mention of the company's name on the
label at all; but CP - if that was the company's name - was one of them.
There's not even a name on the picture sleeve which came with the EP. The
company may have been called 'CPZ', or indeed it may have been called something
that bore no relation to the catalogue number. Whatever the company was,
it issued at least one EP, 'The Organ Of Ludlow Parish Church' by Richard
Francis, in 1972. The EP has all the appearances of a private pressing;
given the usually parochial nature of such recordings, it seems safe to assume
that whatever company made it was based not far from Ludlow. The two sides
had different catalogue numbers, CPZ-2606 and CPZ-2607. The form of the
run-off legend (45-CPZ-2026-1K) suggests that Decca was responsible for the
pressing. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
