RAINBOW
RECORDS
Independent label from 1975: Rainbow Records. there were three
Rainbow labels in the '70s and at least another one in the '80s this
one was owned by the Henry Hadaway Organization, which had previously been
responsible for the Satril Record label. It seems to have only issued two
singles: Paul Cass's Glam-flavoured 'Mini Marianne' (RBV-2000) and Micky
Manchester's 'Have You Seen Your Daughter' (RBV-2001). Both came out in
April 1975, at a time when HHO's own productions were licensed to Pye and were
appearing on the Pye label. Satril was reintroduced as a label in the
summer of 1975, at which point Rainbow presumably became redundant. HHO
retained the rights to the name, however, and in late 1977 prevented the Rainbow
Theatre rock venue and Aaron Sixx's 'Rainbow Record Productions' using it.
Sixx seems to have settle for the name Aura for his new label. Manufacture
was by Orlake, and Distribution by Lugton. The style of demo suggests that
Rainbow came under the President umbrella. Thanks to Robert Lyons For
The Info.
