COCH



An independent Punk label from Wales.  Recordiau Coch issued at least four singles, one EP and one LP in the period 1979-81, all but one of which featured the band Trwynau Coch, whose label it was - they had previously had a couple of EPs out on the Sgwar label (q.v.).  Numbering was initially in an RCTC-0 numbering series, but the band's last single and their LP, 'Rhedeg Rhag Y Torpidos' (SAIN-1186; 1980) were handled by Sain Records and had Sain catalogue numbers.  The first Coch single was a 12", and the two releases that followed were a various artists EP and a split single.  My pocket Welsh dictionary says that 'Coch' means 'red' and 'Trwyn' 'nose'.  So there you go.
