Information on Dial Music is hard to come by. It was founded in 1976 and operated out of premises in Grosvenor Street, London W1, but what line of business it was in is not clear - it may perhaps have been primarily a music publisher. It did however release at least one record, an EP by Diana Kirkwood, which featured the tracks 'Scarborough Fair', 'Plaisir D'Amour', 'I Believe I'm Gonna Love You', and 'Amazing Grace'. The EP came out in 1977 and it had a catalogue number of DM-7710, which suggests that there should be other Dial Music records out there. Googling fails to reveal any sign of them, however, and they may well not exist. According to the sleeve Diana Kirkwood had sung a couple of the songs on the BBC's 'Pebble Mill At One' programme, which would be a good reason to make them commercially available. It seems like a reasonable guess that the 'D. Williams' who produced the EP had a prominent role in the company, but other than that... Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing the label to my attention, and to Shnozzle of the 45cat site for permission to use his scan here.
