PROCAUDIO LTD
RECORDS
I don't know if
Procaudio counts as an actual label, but from 1965 into the early '70s
Procaudio Ltd appears to have produced records for other companies,
presumably for sale or distribution by them. Numbering was in the
PC-000s, with both sides of a record having their own discrete
number. On the few examples I have seen the only reference to
Procaudio has been on the sleeves, not the labels; the PC-000 numbering
is the thing to look out for. The first example above, 'Animal
Sounds - Mammals', with an introduction by Peter Scott, was made for
Purnell's Encyclopedia of Animal Life and the Macdonald Junior
Reference Library. The numbers on the labels, PC-043 / PC-044,
seem to be the matrix numbers; according to the record's sleeve its
catalogue number is 356-03257-4, which means absolutely nothing to
me. Apparently it was part of a series which came out in
1970. I have seen 'Animal Sounds - Insects' listed; the
introduction to that record was provided by Dr. Maurice Burton.
The second example was made for Double-S Productions. Other
labels with a PC-000 number were Craigie College Language Project and
Career. Some others. The company was resposible for producing
flexi-discs as well as vinyl ones. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
