FOLK ON THE FRINGE
RECORDS
Folk On The Fringe Records was a DIY label. It
managed one single a four-track EP by Scottinsh band Mannfolk. It's
possible that 'Folk On The Fringe' may have been the name of the EP rather than
the label, but as those words appeared at the top of the label in prominent
lettering it doesn't seem unreasonable to take them as being the label's name,
particularly in the absence of any indication to the contrary. The EP came
out in 1976; it had a catalogue number of CS-7252, which belongs to a block used
by Craighall Studios. First track on it was called 'Bobby', and it
was presumably intended for sale at or shortly after the 1976 Edinburgh
Festival. The Mannfolk made another appearance at the Fringe in 1977, and
another record, which came out on the Osprey label, in that same
year. Distributed By Folk On The Fringe Records. Thanks to
