LPL (LAIRDS' PURE LATIN) SOUNDS
An independent label, specialising in Strict
Tempo Dance music of the Latin American variety. LPL Sounds -
'Lairds' Pure Latin Sounds' on the picture sleeves - was based at 159 Queens
Road, Buckhurst Hill, Essex. It issued a couple of LPs,
three singles and four EPs during the period 1976-78. The
musical director on these records was Walter Laird; presumably the label was
his. The singles were numbered in the S-10s; they had the dance
rhythm on one side and an orchestra playing a tune in that rhythm on the
other. EPs had numbers in the LPL/EP-1000s. Picture
sleeves seem to have been the norm, and each record had a different-coloured
label, though the design remained the same.
