ROUNDABOUT
RECORDS
Roundabout was a small independent
concern. It was based in St. Albans and was dedicated to Christian
music. It issued at least two EPs, including a Various Artists effort
entitled ' Excuse Me But...' which came out in 1969 and featured tracks by Nigel
Purdy, Malcolm Tyrrell, the Gospel Sound and The Clearways amongst others.
The following year saw the release of 'Only One Way' by The Clearways (GCR-T32;
1970). The catalogue number of that EP suggests that there ought to be
other Roundabouts out there. Steve Kendall, the man behind Roundabout and its
(1960s only?) precursor Clementswood later set up the Profile Recording Studio
in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, and was responsible for releasing a lot more
Christian music on labels such as Capri, Cernlun and most notably Profile
Records. The latter two labels bore a marked family resemblance to
Roundabout. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info. Roundabout Recordings
