NORTH WEST GRAMOPHONE
A custom recording concern, based (I
believe) in Liverpool. North West Gramophone seems to have managed
just the five releases, but there may be others that have escaped google's
net. The examples that I have found have been from 1975-76. All
except the Cornel & Day EP shown above, 'Born With A Smile On My Face'
(NWG-76105; 1976) were albums, but I have listed them below for the sake of
interest (!). As can be seen, there were some well-known names
represented: Tom O'Connor, The Grumbleweeds and David Alexander were all popular
on the Club scene. LPs and EPs shared the same numerical series, the first
two numerals of which showed the year of issue: NWG-75100s date from 1975,
NWG-76100s from 1976. Pressing of the record shown above was by
Polydor.
