REL
RECORDS
Independent Scottish label formed in 1977: REL Records is the
label of Radio Edinburgh Limited. Unsurprisingly, it specializes in
Scottish material, covering a fairly broad spectrum of music. Primarily an
Album label - CDs nowadays, of course - it issued relatively few singles, none
of which ever entered the Charts. Labels were generally of paper, but
least one REL single appeared with blue injection-moulded
ones. Distribution was by Clyde Factors in Scotland; elsewhere in mainland
Britain, several different companies - H. R. Taylor, Phonodisc, Selecta and
Lugton - appear to have done that job. Numbers were generally in the RES-000s,
but there was also another series which seems to be in the RE-40s. The
majority of the company's singles were issued in the '80s, though it took until
1991 for them to reach RES-022. The studio appears to have had a label
dedicated to custom pressings, Radio Edinburgh Ltd. Thanks to
