UNIGRAM / COMET
RECORDS
Independent label: Unigram Records issued singles by people and
bands who had sold lots of records in the past: Emile Ford and Stavely
Makepeace. Stavely, who recorded a single for Unigram, were from Coventry;
Rob Woodward, one of the leading lights of that band, made a solo single for the
label; and Trevor East, who released a single on Unigram's subsidiary, Comet
Records, used to be on Midlands television - it all suggests a South Midlands
origin. Unigram and Comet singles shared a U-6300 numerical series, and
there was at least one Unigram single numbered in the 6-400s (3). The Rob
Woodward record 'Bogey' (U-3402; 1980) is out of step with both of those
series. The label's period of operation seems to have been from
c.1977-c.80. As can be seen, the label came in one basic design but
several dfferent colours; thanks to Rob Bowes for the scan of the yellow
label. Pressing in the '70s appears to have generally been by
Orlake. The discography below includes both Unigram and Comet singles.
