LOOK
RECORDS
Independent label: Look Records was based in Huddersfield, and was
established by George Parks and David Whiteley. It was in part a custom
recording business, specializing in making records by Club / Cabaret artists and
thus enabling them to have something to sell to their fans at gigs, but it also
signed artists and produced records by them at its own expense. Singles
were prefixed 'LK/SP', EPs 'LK/EP' or 'LK/MLP' - though sometimes the hyphen is
missing or is replaced by a full stop - and albums 'LK/LP'; the suffix is absent
on the earliest example that I have seen. The numbering appears to have
been shared by all of them. Presumably starting out in the 100s, around
1974, the numbers appear to have jumped into the 500s in fairly short order, and
then into the 5000s by the end of 1975. They reached 6050 in 1976,
probably after another jump - it seems unlikely that the company could have put
out a thousand records in one year - and by December 1981 they had got to
6675. Even allowing for the jumps in numbering, that indicates a large
number of releases; but pressing-runs for albums, EPs and singles alike must
have been fairly small. There were several different label
designs. The orange label is the earliest it also came in light
blue. The second design) came in several different colours, such as
green-on-white and red-on-white. By 1976 that design had been replaced by a
blue one with silver writing and a different logo. That same year the old
round logo returned, injection-moulded labels were introduced. At least
one record was pressed in Ireland, for some reason, and had a plain-looking
white label. By 1979 the label had changed again, turning pink and reverting to
paper form; it now had the word 'look' in large letters on its lower half
. The pink label lasted into the early mid '80s, though the
injection-moulded form made the occasional comeback - the blue one dates from
1979. Pressings were done by Lyntone and Phonodisc, among
others. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
