CREZENT
RECORDS
Crezent Records was a DIY label. It
managed three singles, but there was apparently a gap of five years between
the first and the second. 'Whispering Bells' b/w 'Sounds In Our Minds' by
Rock 'n' Roll band Talisman was the first; it had a catalogue number of
CRE-01 and came out in 1978. That same year there was an album by the
band, 'Sounds In Our Minds', but that was released on
the Lightning label (LIP-5). Two more tracks from the album formed
Crezent's second single, 'Sound In Our Mind' b/w 'Old Railway Line', which
was numbered CRE-001 and dates from September 1983; the single was
credited to 'Switch Bac'. The tracks were reportedly remixed, but
Werner Breuer has mailed to say that there's no aural evidence of it - my thanks
to him for that. By the time CRE-002 appeared the band name had
evolved to 'Switchbac'. Tracks on that single were 'We Are
Rockin'' and 'Raven'; there is a version of the former on the album
- was the single a re-recording? 'Music Master' gives a date of
February 1984 for that record and says that Pinnacle were responsible
for its distribution. By that time the labels were of the injection
moulded variety. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
