ELECTRIC MUSIC COMPANY

 

The Electric Music Company was an offshoot of Scottish company S.M.D. Recordings, of Paisley, which was better known for its Scotia and Moonbeam labels (q.v. both).  The only record it put out was the one shown above, Mike Gill's self-penned Reggae-tinged instrumental 'Flossie Plinth', which came out in 1976.  Its catalogue number, EMC-4002, suggests that there should be at least one other Electric Music Company single out there, but Mike himself has kindly confirmed that there was just the one release.  The logo features a dragon, for some reason.  It's an unusual and - to my mind - quite attractive label.  The style of the matrix number in the run-off indicates a Decca pressing.
