The label of the famous recording studio. De Lane Lea was founded by Jacques De Lane Lea in 1947, in London. Initially it worked upon film soundtracks but it broadened its scope and went on to record famous names including The Who, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. Its record labels appear to feature mainly on acetates, but they can be found on a couple of vinyl singles by a girl band called The Sovereign Collection, and therefore it qualifies for a place on this site. The singles are 'Rolling In Love' b/w 'I Only Dreamed You', which according to the Discogs site has a matrix number of SCLE-1 and was pressed by Orlake, and 'Say It Once Again' b/w 'A Day Like Yesterday'. The latter pairing can also be found on the Sovereign Collection label (q.v.). There's no date on either of the singles, but the 45Cat site gives 1972 for 'Rolling In Love', which is reasonable - the company was using that style of label in that year. Both of them are very collectable. In both cases the labels look as though they have been stuck on over plain white ones.
