A custom recording label from the south-west of England. Double H operated out of Manor House Court, Chard. It seems to have had a connection with the West Of England Sound (q.v.) studio, in that the Silhouettes' EP featuring 'Sarah Jane' and three other tracks (WE-008) was numbered in a series which appears to have been used by that company. Officially the EP had another number, DH-105, but that only appears on the picture cover. The only two other Double H records I have managed to trace have been in that DH-100 series. Both of them were LPs: 'Stay Awhile' by Rikki Avon (DH-103), and Dave Williams's 'Travelling Man' (DH-104; 1978). The latter gives us a likely year of release for the Silhouettes EP. Richard Prest, who kindly drew the label to my attention and provided the scan, posits a connection between the label and actor Harry H. Corbett, and that may well be the case, though as yet I have not managed to confirm it. Richard's site dedicated to the music scene of Cornwall, Kernow Beat, is well worth a visit.
