MERSEY SOUND



Apparently a one-off DIY label.  The only record on Mersey Sound that I have managed to trace is the one shown above, 'Thoughts Of Love' b/w 'Taking A Chance On Love' by Josephine Ryan.  There's no catalogue number on the label, and no date either, but the matrix number on the run-off, LS-1827, suggests that the record was a product of Liverpool Sound (Enterprises) (q.v.).  It also enables us to offer an approximate date of recording of 1975-76.  A letter from Josephine which came with the record, and mentions it as being financed by her, was written in 1977, which adds a little support to the '75-'76 dating.  Manufacture seems to have been by Deroy.  The songs on the single are pleasant easy-listening Club / Cabaret fare with a '40s feel.
