The label of the Beverley Artistes Agency. Beverley seems to have released just four records, two of them by Club / Cabaret act The Barrie Brothers and one each by Leah Bell and Peter Lincoln. The ones which concern us were EPs. 'The Initial Offering From The Barrie Brothers' contained the tracks 'Jean', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Put Your Hand In The Hand' and 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling'. It had a catalogue number of BB/IS/1002, which was part of a series used by Impulse studios for their Wudwink label (q.v.) amongst others. There was no date on that record; the numbering suggests 1974 but as the EP can also be found on the Impulse Studio label with the same number the Beverley version is probably a reissue. Happily Peter Lincoln's EP 'A Little Bit More From Peter Lincoln' did have a date on it: 1977. Its catalogue number, PX-1082, was taken from a series that was used by CJMO Records (q.v.) for custom recordings. As can be seen from the scan which Nicholas Hough has kindly provided, the label design and name had changed slightly by that time. In addition to the tracks shown, the EP offered versions of 'Send In The Clowns' and 'Music'. The two albums were Leah Bell's 'My Corner Of The Sky' (IS/LB/155) and the Barrie Brothers' 'He's My Brother' (IS/BB-117), both of which were from 1975-76. The Beverley Artistes Agency is still going today (2012), and is based in South Shields.
