QUEST
The label of Quest Studios of Luton. Quest
seems to been a custom recording concern. Catalogue numbers seem to
be divided into two separate blocks. Initially they seem to have been in
the PPS-000s, reaching at least PPS-009 in 1977. Then from 1979 came a
BRS-000 series. Not all of the records came out on the actual Quest
label. Those which I have managed to trace are shown in the partial
discography, below; as can be seen, there are a lot of gaps. There
are some interesting items: from the first block, 'Don't Wanna Fight' by Andy
Watts & Cobra seems to go for reasonable prices, while first out of the
BRS-000s was 'Working For The Corporation' by Tins (BRS-001), which has been
described as 'Clash-style Reggae'. Collectors of NWOBHM might be
interested in the singles by Clientele and by Toad The Wet
Sprocket. The latter came out on the Sprockets label (q.v.), while
BRS-002 was a Various Punk Artists EP on the Pink label
(q.v.). Thanks to Nicholas Hough for the first scan, and to
Steve Mitchell for the second.
