WABAELCO
A mystery. All I can do with Wabaelco, I'm sad to
say, is acknowledge its existence. The company issued at least
one record, the single shown above, 'Alleluia !' by Little Fred, which came out
in 1971 and had a catalogue number of WAB-1. According to Robert Bowes,
who kindly brought the label to my attention and supplied the scan, the songs on
it are in a Christian Folk / Pop vein. It would be nice to know where the
label name came from - I don't remember there being an angel
Wabael; could the 'El' be from
'Eloi'? - but I don't suppose I ever will. The actual label is vaguely
reminiscent of the Saydisc (q.v.) label from around that period; but that really
is grasping at straws.
