SPEEDY
RECORDS
Speedy
Records was a DIY label. It's only product, 'The Champions' b/w
'Workin' Al' Nighter' by a group of mechanics from the Lotus motor racing team,
looks like a promotional record. The record was produced to celebrate Emerson
Fittipaldi‘s stunning F1 title glory at the wheel of the fabulous, JPS Lotus 72.
However, the picture sleeve has a record company logo on it - a mouse with
racing car wheels, and the words 'SPEEDY RECORDS' below it. As the makers
of the record have gone to the bother of providing a name for their label I
reckon that they deserve to have the label noted. The single came out in
1973 and had a catalogue number of SPD-1001. The songs on it are similar
to those that are usually sung by football teams. Distributed By Speedy Records.
