The label of Tim Wheatley's Chestnut Studios, of Churt, Surrey. Chestnut put out a handful of records from 1979-c.81, presumably acting as a custom recording agent rather than as a record company. Singles and LPs alike were numbered in the NUT-0s. There is no date on the label of 'Twenty Flight Rock' b/w 'C'mon Everybody' by Rock 'n' Roll band Starchase (NUT-1), but as NUT-2 - an LP by the Penthouse Band, 'Sounds Of The Penthouse Band' - was recorded in August 1979 it seems a reasonable bet that the Starchase single was from that year. The highest number that googling reveals is NUT-6, Truffle's 'Round Tower' b/w 'If You Really Want', which came out in 1981. Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing the label to my attention.
