KREA SONO
A unique label - at
least, as far as this site is concerned - in that its records were all in the
Esperanto language. Krea Sono ('Creative Sound' in Esperanto) was owned
and run by Jim West, of Falkirk, and was a successor to his 'West' label
(q.v.). It issued four records, all of which were by prominent Esperantist
William Auld and / or Margaret Hill. There were two 7" EPs, both from
1972: Auld's 'Poems' (CSA-106) and Hill's 'British Folksongs' (CSA-107).
They were followed by Hill's 'Kantant Mia Bird' LP (CSA-1108), and finally by an
Auld / Hill joint LP, 'Songs And Poems Of Robert Burns' (CSA-1109), which came
out in 1976. The CSA-100 numbering followed on from that which had been
used by records on the West label. Thanks to Jim West for letting me know
about the label, and for providing all the information about it that this page
contains, as well as providing the scan. Full details of Krea Sono's
releases can be found on Jim's
website.
