LOGO
RECORDS
Independent label: Logo Records roots lie in a company called
G&O Leisure, which was formed in 1976 by ex-RCA executives Geoff Hannington
and Olav Wyper. Its interests extended to music publishing and artist
management, and it had the financial backing of publishers Marshall
Cavendish. In 1976 G&O intended to introduce a new label, G&O
Records, after Christmas. With four artists having been signed: Rockie,
Michael Price, John Spencer, and Jackdaw. Nothing seems to have come of
the new label, but G&O appears to have undergone a change on name, to Logo,
and a couple of singles by Meal Ticket came out on the EMI International label
in 1977 with a credit to Logo Records. Appropriately enough, one of them
featured the Logo logo. That same year Marshall Cavendish acquired
Transatlantic Records from current owners Granada and Nat Joseph; it seems that
Logo took over the running of that label. The Transatlantic label as such
was phased out, though it enjoyed its biggest success (with the Brighouse &
Rastrick Brass Band's 'Floral Dance') during the Logo period. Towards the
end of 1977 the Logo label was introduced, Transatlantic's artist roster being
transferred across. As Transatlantic had done, Logo enjoyed the occasional
novelty hit - two in 1978, with Driver 67 and Streetband. The Tourists
managed rather more solid success in 1979-80, taking the company into the Charts
four times. Wyper left in 1979, and Hannington took control in 1980.
Logo seems to have released no new product after 1982, but compilations of
popular material continued to appear sporadically under its name.
Initially pressing was done by Decca, with distribution by Selecta; RCA took
over both of those functions in June 1978. The labels of Decca-era Logoes
seem to have been generally rather less creamy than RCA ones, and the position
of the credits altered slightly. In addition the perforations got
narrower. Logo singles came in a plain lime-green sleeve, with nothing on
them to identify them. Numbers were initially in the GO-100s; the '1'
became a '3' after GO-107, seemingly before the change in distributors.
The monochrome label seems to have been used only for the double-pack single
GO(D)-330, while the occasional injection moulded labels were contract pressings
by Phonodisc. RCA-era demos were marked in the standard RCA manner; when
GO-325 was flipped and re-promoted old stock copies were given a sticker to
denote the new 'A' side and were used as demos this was also done for at
least one record on the RCA label. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
