The second Ocean label to appear in the 1970 was owned by Mervyn Conn, who was also behind the Carnaby, Nashville and Nashville International (q.v. all) labels. It put out a handful of singles during 1974-75; the few that I have heard have featured middle-of-the-road Pop or Country songs. Probably the most interesting of the company's records, for collectors, was 'Spread It Around', by comedian Les Dawson (OCS-204; 1974). Manufacture and distribution were by Pye, and catalogue numbers were in an OCS-200 series; 208 and 210 seem not to have been issued. Thanks to Klepsie of the 45cat site for the promo scan, and to Christophe of Inoxydable Records for the ownership information.
