The label of the Northline Music Corporation, of Birkenhead. The only 7" record I have seen on the Northline Music label was an EP by Folk trio Kinfolk which offered versions of 'Early Morning Rain', 'Plaisir D'Amour', 'This Land Is Your Land' and 'Amazing Grace'. It was released in 1977 and it ran to a couple of pressings, which, as the scans show, had different labels. Its catalogue number was NL-510, but a scratched-out number on the run-off suggests it was initially intended to be KIN-001. Pressing was by Orlake. The were also at least three albums, which were numbered in a NL-150 series. They were Colin Areety's 'I've Got To Make It' (NL-151), 'Astral' by The Hamilton Sound (NM-152) and 'Got To Get You Into My Life' by Scott Roberts (NL-153; 1978). The nature of the four records suggests that Northline acted either as a custom recording concern or as an outlet for artists who were popular locally.
