E. L. P.
RECORDS
Independent label from Wales: E. L.
P. Records the initials stood for Esme Lewis Productions. Esme Lewis
recorded for the 'Welsh Teledisc' company in the mid '60s; by the end of that
decade she was running her own label. It issued at least six records, using
an ELP-100 series for singles, EPs and LPs alike; the picture sleeve of 'Glory
Glory Glory', by Iris Williams gives the number of that particular record as ELP
SP-105 but the actual label has it as just ELP-105. The title of ELP-103,
an EP by Band Y Meillion, 'Dawnsiau'r Twmpath (Welsh Barn Dances) 2' hints that
ELP-102 may have been the first volume in that series; there was
a third volume and was released in 1973, but frustratingly neither the
artist nor the number has been found. ELP-104 was an various artists album
of folk song in Welsh. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
