SPACEWARD
The
label of Spaceward Studios of Cambridge. Mike Kemp and Gary Lucas set
up the studios in 1972, and the label seems to have been launched in the
following year. Most of the tracks recorded at Spaceward appear to
have been issued on other companies' labels, but a number of records came out on
the studio's own label. The only 1970s 7" records that have surfaced
so far are Phil Newman's single 'Our Last Song Together' (SRS-10) and
an EP by Breeze, 'Volume One' (SRS-11), both of which came out in 1976. Mark Graham let
me know that Spaceward
had two new releases scheduled for 2012 - the label's first for
some thirty years. Thanks to him, and also to Sam Mauger for bringing
the label to my attention. John Timmis (1) and Robert Bowes (2) were kind enough to provide
the scans.
