VALLEY (2)



The second Valley label of the 1970s appears to have been a self-financed effort by '60s hitmaker Ricky Valance.  The only record on the label that I have been able to trace is an EP featuring 'Love Hurts' and three other tracks - including another version of 'Tell Laura I Love Her'.  The catalogue number was VLY-001, and it came out in 1976.  The layout of the label and the appearance of the word 'Pollen' on the label indicate that the studio responsible for the recording was Pollen Studios, of Haxby, Yorkshire.  Thanks to Robert Bowes for bringing the label to my attention and for providing the scan.
