RECORDS
Flare Records was An obscure label
from early in the 70's decade, probably a DIY one. A three-track 7" by
Cabaret artists Roy & Jackie Toaduff seems to have been Flare's only
release. It offered the tracks 'Thanks For Everything', 'The Windmill' and
'Tomorrow Tomorrow', and it had a catalogue number of HD-700617. As the
labels indicate, it was made through Discotape Recording Studios, at Half Acre.
Church Lane. Dore. Sheffield SI 7 3GT. There's no date printed on either
the labels or the picture sleeve, but a handwritten '1970' on a sleeve. it may
be that the catalogue number gives the release date in year-month-day form -
'70-06-17'. The Toaduffs went on to enjoy a successful career, which
included several years entertaining on the QE2; at some point they made an LP,
'The Magic Of The Toaduffs', which came out on the album-only Co/Ed label
(R.J.T. 101). Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
