THOR
RECORDS
Independent label: Thor Records was a label of Thor
Studios, of Glasgow. The fare on offer on the few Thor releases was mainly
the standard Cabaret / Club / Folk material, which suggests a custom recording
concern; it was however responsible for one collectors' item in the form of an
LP by Captain Marryat (THOR-1007; 1974), which apparently goes for very good
sums nowadays. The only two seven-inch records I have happened upon were
numbered in the S-250s. S-253, pictured above, was issued in 1977 and was
a split EP shared between Campbell Hughes ('Bonnie Mary Of Argyll') and Sandy
Moir. S-256 was a split single, with Ron Slattery's 'Okie From Muskogee'
on one side and John Slattery's 'Your Sister Sue' on the other; its label was of
the same design but was coloured yellow. Stephen Small reports the
existence of a single by The Diplomats, 'Lonely Road', which was numbered 2407
and came out in 1970, and an EP by Tommy Trousdale & The Sundowners, with
'Sweet Little Rock And Roller' and three other tracks on it, which was undated
but was numbered 1500. In addition there were self-titled albums by The
Haloes (THOR-1003) and Two's Company (THOR-1009), but that's the lot so
far. At least one EP with a Thor number came out on the 'Ca Va'
label. There may well be a lot of other Thor records out there, but
presumably they were pressed in very small quantities. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
