DISCOTAPE / FLARE
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.
