A DIY label. A single by a band with the distinctive name of Aunt Fortescue's Bluesrockers, 'Not Getting Caught Again' b/w 'Cannards Grave' is the only release on Vole that I have been able to confirm. It had a catalogue number of YRS-JS-01, which indicates that it was made through custom recording firm Yarmouth Recording Studios (q.v.); presumably the 'JS' stood for John Simms, who was a member of the band. As can be seen from the scan the label had a typical Yarmouth layout, with the label name in capitals at the top and the 'rights and prohibitions' text in two lines just above the spindle hole. According to Discogs the labels came in white or yellow. There's no date on the record but Discogs gives 1976 as its year of release, which is perfectly possible. The band continued to gig until 1987. A list of reviews in Folk Roots magazine says that an album by them called 'Live At Ponty' (also on Vole) was reviewed in issue 66, but there's no trace of it online - if it exists it would be a posthumous release, as that issue came out in December 1988. The tracks on the single are small-band acoustic Folk rather than Blues or Rock.
