A label for Christian music. Pilgrim was the music outlet of publishers Marshall, Morgan & Scott, of London. It issued records from the early '60s until at least 1979. Singles and EPs from the '60s (1) were numbered in two different series, XPR-3000 and PSR-7000; XPR-3040 dated from 1965, PSR-7004 from 1967. The company seems to have concentrated on albums in the 1970s: the only Pilgrim 7"s from that decade that I have happened upon so far are a couple by Mary McKee & The Genesis, 'Silent Prayer' b/w 'Silent Night' (SPLM-438; 1977) and 'Shattered Dreams' b/w Acres Of Diamonds' (SP/M-001; 1979), and Rodney Cordner's 'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda' b/w 'The Ballad Of Tommy Quinn' (SPLM-002; 1979). The label of 'Silent Prayer' had a somewhat different layout to the one show above: an example can be seen on the 45cat site.
