RED DOMINO
RECORDS
Red Domino Records was the sister-label to Domino
Records. Both were owned by the Ditchburn Organisation, of Lytham, whose
main business was the supply of jukeboxes and vending-machines. The fare
offered by both labels seems to have been pub-singalong stuff, of the type made
popular in the late '50s and early '60s by the likes of Mrs. Mills - who
actually had a single out on Red Domino - and the Big Ben Banjo Band.
Presumably there was a difference between the sort of material which came out on
Red Domino and that which surfaced on the parent label, but it's not immediately
obvious what that difference was - the Red Domino records appear to have been
licensed from EMI, which may have something to do with it. Be that as it
may, Red Domino had the same design as Domino, apart from the addition of the
word 'RED' above the logo. Singles were numbered in an RD-100 numerical
series, and there were at least three of them. Domino records were pressed
by Pye, but Red Domino ones weren't. The rarity of records on Red Domino
suggests that they didn't sell particularly well. Distributed By Domino
Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
