WEB

  

A small independent or custom recording concern, by the look of it.  The only records on the Web label that I have ever seen in the vinyl are the ones pictured above.  There is no date on either of them, but 'Yer Gotta Get Aht', by Bobby Bragg (SS-75001) has a matrix number of DTS-006, which was taken from a series used by DTS Studios (q.v.) of Rochester, and this gives a slight clue as to the dating.  DTS-009 and DTS-010 both came out in 1976; a reasonable guess, then, suggests that DTS-006 / SS-75001 may well be from 1975 or '76.  It seems possible that the first two digits of the number refer to the year - 1975 - and the final three to the number of the records made in that year.  As can be seen, 'Snowbird' by Shades Of Harmony (SM-75005), had a light blue label of much the same design; its matrix number was VT M 261073, which is no help to me whatsoever.  Both records were produced by Jack Long, which suggests that Web may have been his label.  I have yet to track down the missing Webs.
