REDWOOD
RECORDS
Redwood Records was a DIY label. It was owned by music
journalist Graham Wood and licensed to Satril Records. Redwood issued three
singles in 1977, one of which was by Buddy Knox, who had had a Top 30 hit in
1957 with 'Party Doll'. Knox's, 'The Harmony In You And Me Is Gone'
(RWS-5001; 5/77) failed to repeat that success; and neither of the other two
Redwood singles did any better. The label design is disappointingly plain:
you would hope for a picture of a tree, or the rings of a sawn-off trunk, or
something; but there's nothing. That said, the printing was red, and the
label belonged to a Mr. Wood, so I suppose its appearance could be
justified. Manufacture and distribution were by Pye, as they were for
Satril's own records at that time. Graham Wood was an expert on the music
of the '50s and '60s, and Redwood held the British rights to a store of vintage
repertoire, some of which it had licensed to Satril and to Chiswick. Thanks to
