One of the labels of the Humber Recording Studio of Grimsby, the other being Humber (q.v.). HRS appears to have been the first label used by the studio. The catalogue number of an EP by Cleethorpe Rock, HRS-008, suggests that it probably ran to at least eight releases, but I haven't been able to track any others down - I wouldn't even know about that EP if John Timmis hadn't been kind enough to let me know of its existence and to send a scan. In addition to the tracks shown above, the EP offered versions of 'Peace Pipe' and 'Be Bop A-Lula'. Its matrix number, DER-1260, shows that it was made through Deroy; the pressing marks and the narrow dinking perforations suggest that the actual manufacture was done by RCA. If anyone knows of another HRS I'd be pleased to hear from them.
