VEGA
RECORDS
Independent label: Vega Records appears to have been a small
independent label dedicated to Strict Tempo dance music. All the records
were EPs and all were by The Stan Holdsworth Sound; it seems like a good bet
that Stan Holdsworth was the man behind Vega. Numbering was in the
VEGA-100s, and the highest number that I have so far managed to trace was
VEGA-107, an EP containing 'Anniversary Waltz' and three other tracks. The
label of that record was of the same design as the second example shown.
There were no dates on the labels, but Lyntone pressed the records their
matrix numbers enable us to put a date to them. VEGA-105, 'Match Stalk Men
& Match Stalk Cats And Dogs', has a matrix number of LYN-5461, which
indicates that it came out in 1978. VEGA-106 (LYN-6892), 'Taking A Chance
On Love', was issued in 1979. Distributed By Vega Records. Thanks to
