LIVE WIRE
RECORDS
Independent label: Live Wire Records was owned by
promotion man Chris Denning. It had a pressing and distribution deal with
Sonet, from whom the catalogue numbers gained their 'SON' prefixes; both jobs
were actually done by Pye, who handled Sonet's records at the time. The company
issued around a dozen singles during 1975, all of them seemingly in a solidly
Pop vein, but none of them ever threatened the charts. Two different but
fairly similar label designs were used, the green one being used up to and
including SON-4004, the blue one from then on. Flame, whose second single
is pictured were a boy band at the time. I suppose a couple of years
later they were all punks; by now they're probably grandfathers. Distributed
By Pye Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
