CREWE
American, out of New York. Crewe was owned by
producer Bob Crewe, and was the successor to his New Voice
and Dyno Voice labels. It lasted from 1969 to 1971 in its native
land and registered hits over there with the Four Seasons and Oliver. In Britain,
however, it seems to have issued only three albums and four singles, all of
them in 1970 and all of them unsuccessful in terms of
Chart entry. Numbering of the singles was in the CRW-0s; manufacture and distribution were by Pye,
with demos being in the usual yellow-labelled Pye style
of that period.
