GROSVENOR
RECORDS
Independent
label: Grosvenor Records was a A long-lived independent label and
recording studio, operating from premises at 16 Grosvenor Road Handsworth
Wood Birmingham B20 3NP. Grosvenor was owned and run by John and Jean
Taylor, in later years with the assistance of their sons, Christopher and
Richard. The label specialised in organ music, though music by brass bands
and handbell groups also appeared. The vast majority of its product came
out in LP format, though the occasional single and EP slipped out; the
discography below seems pretty well complete as far as 7" records from the years
1970-84 are concerned. The first release, an EP of music from the Royal
Shakespeare Company's production of 'A Winter's Tale' was numbered GR-1000 and
came out in 1970 ; according to the sleeve it was pressed by a company called
Industrial Commercial Plastics. Subsequent albums, EPs and singles appear
to have shared the same numerical series, with a slightly changed prefix: GRS
instead of GR. EPs had an '/EP' after the GRS. The label came in
several different colours - there were silver-on-yellow and silver-on-red ones
as well but the design remained the same. Grosvenor lasted into the CD
era, but it went dormant in 2003, when Mr. and Mrs. Taylor
retired. There was an associated label, 'Hollick and Taylor', which
was used for custom pressings; Hollick and Taylor was the original name of the
studio when it started life, in 1960. Distributed By Grosvenor Records
Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
