STANDFAST
RECORDS
Independent
label: Standfast Records was run by producer Ian Grant and based in
Atney Road, London. Standfast had signed to Shannon, for distribution and that
it had two discrete prefixes for its catalogue numbers, 'PINE' for Country and
'CONE' for folk, but the only PINEs that records was a couple of Irish
Folk LPs and the EP by None Such Green shown above (which features 'I'd Like To
Teach The World To Sing' and 'Home To Rusthall' on the reverse). Standfast
had already been on the scene for a number of years at that point: PINE-1212, an
album by Le Cheile called 'Lord Mayo', dates from 1975, and a 1974 LP 'Music and
Songs From The 6th National Scout & Guides Festival of Folk Music' (FF-1-6)
while not on the Standfast label has a credit to the Standfast Music
Company. The only other Standfast 7" that I have been able to track down
was a three-track effort from 1983 featuring snooker player Ray Reardon, 'It's
Snooker Again' b/w an instrumental version by Brass Standfast and a track by
Dale Mitchell Humphries, 'The Night I Played Ray Reardon' (CONE-1216). Its
label was of the same design as the one below but was yellow. Ian Grant had
formed Steadfast because it gave him complete control as a producer. He
had produced several Country albums for both The Hillsiders and Pete Sayers in
the '70s, so he had experience in that particular field. . Nonesuch Green - This
Is Our Record. The four tracks included one recorded live at Folk Fest 8 and
three additional tracks that were recorded at St Paul’s Church, Rusthall, which
doubled as a recording studio. I'd Like To Teach The World To
Sing, Home To Rusthall, Bread And Fishes, O'Rafferty's
Motor Car. Nonesuch Green: English Folk group comprising of Scouts from the St
Paul's Rusthall Scout Group from Rusthall, Tunbridge Wells. One of the new songs
‘Home to Rusthall’ was written and composed by Paul Dobson one of the founder
members of the group. The record went on sale in aid of Group funds
through members of the Scout Group, anywhere the group performed, and later
through a few local shops in Tunbridge Wells and Rusthall in the run up to
Christmas 1978. Further recordings and broadcasts were to follow at
Tunbridge Wells Hospital Radio and BBC Radio Kent. Thanks to
