SIR
RECORDS
Independent label: Sîr Records was a Welsh
Record label. It managed at least one single. Ann Coates sings
'Aderyn Eira' and three other tracks. The EP was issued in 1976 and had a
catalogue number of SR-3005. The SR-3000 numbers were shared by 7" and 12"
records alike. The Internet has only brought four more Sîr
records to light, and they were all albums: the Llanddulas Male Voice Choir's
were responsible for an LP of the same name (SR-3002; 1975) and followed it up
with 'Volume 2' (SR-3004; 1976?), while the others were 'Gyda'r Delyn' by Triawd
Tanat (SR-3007; 1977) and 'On Song' by the Rolls Royce Motors Male Voice Choir
(SR-3008; 1978). The last was made through Westwood Records, of
Montgomery. Several numbers are unaccounted-for at the moment, and here
may well be a few more Sîrs out there. The company was obviously Welsh -
'sîr' is Welsh for 'county'; I would guess that the pronunciation is the same as
the English 'shire' - it was presumably a custom recording affair with links to
Westwood, or perhaps a small independent company. Ann Coates also released
two albums on the Westwood label, 'That Star Belongs To Me' (WRS-081; 1975) and
'Please Don't Cut The Roses' (1978). Distributed By Sir Records.
