MERSEY
Mersey appears to have been a
one-off DIY label - it certainly looked like one, being of the same sort of
plain design that was used by so many DIY labels. A tribute song to
Liverpool Football Club, 'Liverpool's The Greatest' by Rig Mallows Trio is the
only record that I have seen on the label, and I wouldn't have seen that one if
Sam Maugher hadn't kindly drawn my attention to it. There is no date
on that single, but a Norwegian site dedicated to the football club says that it
dates from the 1970s. As can be seen on the scan, which Robert Bowes
was kind enough to supply, there is no catalogue number on it, either; according
to Robert the matrix number in the run-off is WO-2100.
