This City label was the descendant of Tony Palmer's 'City Music', from Scratby, which seems to have dropped the 'Music' in 1973 and become just plain 'City'. The only records on this particular City label that I have seen which dated from the 1970s were a single by Yana, 'Tutankhamun' (CMSP-7301) and a couple of EPs, Tony Gray's 'Route 66' (CMEPC-7301) and 'On The Road', by British Country & Western group The New Westernaires (CMEPC-7302), all of which were from 1973. The 1980s, however, saw several more releases; for the sake of interest I've included in the discography below the few that I have stumbled upon. The New Westernaires were formed in 1964 by singer / guitarist Mel Hague, and they were popular on the British Country circuit for many years. Their EP, shown above, was pressed by Orlake; the sleeve notes say that the band was signed to a recording contract by Tony Palmer, which indicates that City actually issued records itself.
