ROCKBURGH
RECORDS
Independent label: Rockburgh Records was owned by Sandy Roberton.
It operated between 1978 and 1981, and issued a number of interesting items by
artists as varied as singer/songwriter Ian Matthews, Irish Folk-Rockers the
Woods Band, and Dutch Prog group Finch. Despite the undoubted
quality of Rockburgh's releases, none of them entered the Charts.
Distribution was initially by Charmdale, with the label ending up with Polydor /
Phonodisc for marketing and distribution in the Spring of 1979. Only
singles by Ian Matthews appear to have been actually pressed by Phonodisc from
that point, which makes me wonder if he was the sole Rockburgh artist whose
records were licensed to Polydor - his singles from March 1979 onwards had green
or silver injection moulded labels with the Polydor logo on them. Paper
labels seem to have been the norm; looks to have been pressed by the independent
manufacturer Sound News Productions. To complicate matters further, the
singles don't seem to have been issued strictly in catalogue number
order. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
