TAVERN
RECORDS

Tavern Records appears to have been a custom recording label.  It issued records from 1973 to 1977; there were at least seventeen of them and a lot of them were by popular Novelty group The Barron Knights.  Most of Tavern's releases were LPs, but there were at least a couple of seven-inchers: an EP by Cabaret band Inspiration, 'Love Don't Grow On Trees' (STA-1004; 1973), and a football single by The Barron Knights & The '74 Luton Town Squad, 'Hatters Hatters' (STA-1007; 1974).  The label of the Luton Town single was navy-blue-on-white rather than black-on-silver; the Inspiration EP was pressed by Orlake.  EP, single and albums shared the same STA-1000 numbering.  In 1977 the Knights started recording for Epic and Tavern disappeared, which suggests that Tavern may have belonged to the band.
