RIGA

 

A DIY label from the mid '70s.  Riga appears to have been responsible for just one record, an EP called 'Four For You' by a duo named Duel Control.  The EP came out in 1976 and offered four original Country-flavoured tracks, 'Back In New Orleans', 'Sea Of Faces', 'For The Next Hour' and 'Memories (Linger On)'.  Its catalogue number, HP-49, shows that it was made through custom recording firm Stag Music (q.v.), and pressing was done by Phonodisc.  The picture sleeve says that the duo was from Merseyside; the label's name was assembled from the members' forenames, RIchard Prescott and GAry Nicholls.
