E.S.R
RECORDS
Independent
label: of John Greenslade's 'Exeter Sound Recording' studio. ESR seems
to have made custom recordings from around 1979 until at least 1991,
though, as is the case with such concerns, its products are hard to trace and
the dates are provisional. E.S.R. was responsible for the
appearance several 7" records in an ESR-0 (later ESR-000) series
during 1979-80, including 'Ain't No Van Gogh' by Silent Movies (ESR-1; 1979) and
the Living Daylights' 'Heart Stop' EP (ESR-3; 1979). Manufacture of those
two records was through custom recording firm SRT. As well as
the the Exeter City F.C. single, 'Playing The Game' (ESR-005; 1980) there
was another one, 'Swing Along With City', which had a label of the same design
but different colouring - black printing on white. That single had no
catalogue number on the label; it may perhaps be ESR-2, which is missing from
the discography below. ESR resurfaced in 1983, with a new label design and
a new catalogue series, SSR-0000; if catalogue numbers are anything to go by it
appears to have managed at least eighteen releases, SSR-0018 coming out in
January 1984. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
