BEST
A product of SRT's custom recording
division. There was at least one single on Best, a version of Lennon
and McCartney's 'Eleanor Rigby' b/w 'Whatever Happened To Love' by NWOBHM band Ethel The
Frog. It was issued in 1978 with a catalogue number of SRTS/FMR-014, and
it had a typically plain SRT custom pressing label. The SRTS/FMR-000 series was
used by the Fairview Music (q.v.) studios, of the band's
home town Hull; it covered records on the studio's own label and on several
other labels including this one. EMI gave Ethel a contract shortly
afterwards, presumably making Best redundant in the process. Thanks
to Robert Bowes for the scan.
