ERC
RECORDS
E.R.C was a Scottish Independent
label: the label of Marshall Bain's 'Edinburgh
Recording Company' studio. E.R.C. seems to have been a custom recording
label. It managed a handful of releases covering the end of the '70s and
the start of the '80s. The first of them, an EP by the Newtongrange,
Lothian Silver Band, was made through custom recording firm Ellie Jay and
had an Ellie Jay catalogue number, EJSP-9296; it was issued in 1979.
Pressing was by Lyntone, and its matrix numbers were LYN-7828 / 7829.
Subsequent 7" records were numbered in an ERC-000 series, starting at ERC-002;
presumably the Newtongrange record was considered to be ERC-001. Sadly
they were undated, though a highly collectable single by Rock band Phyne
Thanquz, 'Into The Sun' b/w 'Curse Of The Gods' (ERC-007) is reckoned to be from
1981. An EP by The Dambusters - a group from St. Andrew's University,
featuring Siobhan Redmond - while not in the same league is also
collectable. An album of Mozart music for two harpsichords, clavichord and
piano, played by Lucy Carolan and Peter Williams (SCH-801), must have been an
unusual item to find amongst a custom recording company's products.
