DOWNING
RECORDS
Independent label: Downing Records was a custom
recording - company. The fact that Merseysiders Tony Crane (of the
Merseybeats), Lee Brennan and Dave Roylance all issued or produced records on
the label makes it a good bet that Downing was from that part of the country,
Ronald Downing who ran a record shop in Liverpool in the late 70s may have been
the driving force behind the company. In addition to the Lee Brennan, 'I
Never Loved Anyone More' (DR-1001), there was at least one other, 'Funny Face'
by Elaine Marie and Maverick (RKD-005), which had a white label of the same
design. The latter single was issued in 1979, which suggests that the Lee
Brennan record (which was pressed by RCA) is from slightly
earlier. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
