CAPRICORN (UK)



The second Capricorn label of the '70s appears to have been a custom recording concern.  It was responsible for three 7" records in or around 1978: a couple of EPs by Janet Stein and Alan Mack, and a single by the duo 'Brief Encounters'.  Telephone numbers on a couple of the records suggest that the company was based in the Medway / Dartford area.  Alan Mack's 'Live At The Trocadero Night Spot, Nuneaton' had a white label with no label name on it and may perhaps not be a Capricorn, but its catalogue number, CCR-1002, fits cosily into the listing; see 'CCR'.  Googling 'Capricorn' was never going to be a great help in looking for other records that the company may have made, so information about missing Capricorns or UK records numbered in the CCR-1000s would be welcome.  Thanks to Barry Adcock for drawing the label to my attention and for providing the scan.
