MIXCREST
RECORDS
Mixcrest Records was a DIY label. It managed one
single. 'Girl (How Am I Gonna Win You)' by T. J. Thorpe and the C. B. Band
(MIX-1), was a 7" only at its narrowest point: it was actually seven-sided, and
was grey in colour. The idea was that the record looked like a fifty-pence
piece and it sold for fifty pence. A report says that the vinyl
actually had some silver content, presumably for added authenticity. It
also gives the name of the label chief as Tony Wolbrom and states that T. J.
Thorpe had been a member of The Rubettes. 'Girl' was reissued on EMI
International (INT-589) in May of that same year, but in standard black circular
form. Distributed By Mixcrest Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
