A small independent label, from Scotland. EEL stood for Eastwood Entertainments Limited; most of the few EEL records that I have seen listed have featured Dean Eastwood in one role or another, which suggests that he was the driving force behind the company. Stephen Small, who kindly drew the label to my attention and provided the discographical details, reports that Eastwood's EP 'The Modern Minstrel' (EEL-001) came out on EEL in 1973, while the single shown above, 'Proud Of Our City' by Dean and Dawn (Westfield) was the runner-up in the 1978 Dundee Festival Song Contest. The catalogue number of the single, CPS-018, was taken from a series used by the Radio Edinburgh (q.v.) studios for custom recordings, and suggests that it came out in 1978-79; the cover features a page of newspaper adverts, some of which refer to November 1978, so perhaps early 1979 is the best bet. Eel was still issuing records in 1987, by which time numbers had reached EEL-014.
