KGH
RECORDS

KGH Records was a DIY label. KGH the initials stood for 'Kettering General Hospital'; they formed the prefix of the catalogue number and I've used them as an identifier here for want of anything better.  A single featuring a Christmas carol medley on one side and a Christmas song called 'Chimney Pots' on the other seems to have been the only release on KGH - I haven't heard the latter before, and it may be an original.  As can be seen from the scan, nurses from the Kettering Health District did the singing; H. Colley provided the solo vocals on the 'B' side.  The accompaniment sounds as though it was done on a church organ; a couple of guitarists join in for 'Chimney Pots'.  Both sides are mono.  The catalogue number was KGH-02.  There was a 'Vol.1', though it wasn't advertised as such: it was credited just to 'The Nurses', and it had a Beck Studios (q.v.) catalogue number, BECK-533.  A scan of it can be found on the Beck page.  Presumably that record was the missing KGH-01.  There's no date on either single, but after comparing it against other Beck records I have Vol.1 tentatively slotted into 1976; it seems reasonable to guess that the nurses were inspired to have another go the following year and this is the result..
