A Christian music label; the outlet for material associated with the Community of Celebration, a charismatic Christian group founded by Americal cleric Graham Pulkingham. Celebration appears to have dealt mainly in albums - catalogue numbers suggest that there were more than forty of them - but it released at least one single, 'The Celebration Song' b/w 'If You Have Not Love', by The Fisherfolk (CR45-1012), which came out in 1976. The Fisherfolk seem to have been responsible for almost all of the label's output. The single shared the albums' CR-1000 numerical series, but it had a 45 inserted between the prefix and the number. The company seems to have been active in the U.K. from c.1974 into at the mid '80s, and some of its releases were reissued on CDs. The writing on the right-hand side of the sleeve reveals that Celebration Records were based at 57 Dorchester Road, Lytchett Minster, Poole, Dorset. So now you know.
