A firm from Halesowen, Worcestershire. Areac's main area of business was the design and installation of sound equipment - public address systems, and the like - but in the '70s they made custom recordings, which appeared on the company's own label. Catalogue numbers were shared by LPs and EPs (and singles? Were there any?) and were in an AR-1000 series, which reached at least AR-1041. The few Areac records that I have managed to track down are listed below. The one to look out for is an album by Sétanta, 'Grey Water'; 100 copies were pressed and they currently go for sale for sums in the high three-figures. There should be a lot more Areacs out there, but what they are, and what format they are in, remains a mystery at the moment. Any information would be welcome - a 'discography' consisting of eight records out of a possible forty-odd is lamentable. Thanks to Steve Hill for bringing the Life Gospel Rock Group EP to my attention, and to Janek Farrier-Smith for doing the same with the Birmingham Bible Institute album.
