UNIVERSAL EDITION
RECORDS
Independent label: Universal Edition Records was a book
publishing firm, and the only record on its label that I have been able to trace
was a promotional tool for a book of music, 'Hear And Now', by John
Painter. The book contained melodies for children to play, and the record
- which appears to have been given away rather than sold - gives a couple of
examples, pupils of Farsley C.P. School, Pudsey, offering 'The Workshop' on one
side and children from Heslington Primary School, York, providing 'Autumn' on
the other. The catalogue number of the EP was UE-26903, which presumably
fitted somewhere into Universal Edition's book-numbering scheme. There was
no date on the record but its matrix numbers, LYN-2530 / 2531, enable us to pin
the year down to 1972 by comparing them with those of other Lyntone
pressings. The company had its headquarters in Paddock Wood, near
Tonbridge. Distributed By Universal Edition Records. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
