SCOPE
RECORDS
Independent label: Scope Records was An offshoot of
Lighning Records. Scope started out as a label for in-demand Disco and Reggae
records, but towards the end of its life it put out a couple of Pop /
New-Wave-type singles. It was distributed by major record corporation WEA,
who were also responsible for manufacture. With WEA's muscle behind it
Scope got two of its first six singles - Janet Kay's 'Silly Games' (SC-2; 1979)
and Errol Dunkley's 'O. K. Fred' (SC-6; 1979) - into the Top 20. There
were other, lesser, successes, but despite them Scope seems to have vanished in
1980. It appears to have issued just thirteen singles, in an SC-0
series, often with 12" versions as well as 7". The number SC-13 seems not
to have been used. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
