CYPRUS
Either a small independent or a DIY label. A single by Kimstyle,
'Why 20.7.74' b/w 'The Lady And The Parrot', appears to have been Cyprus's only
release. It was made in 1975 through custom recording firm SRT, and its
catalogue number, SRT/CUSTOM-011, was taken from a series used by that firm.
The Discogs site has it as being released in Cyprus but it may well have been
aimed at Britain's expatriate Cypriot community, so I've given it a page here.
Co-producer / co-writer Kim Nicolaou was active in the UK in the early '80s - he
produced a single by Dessus, 'Ghetto Children' b/w 'Dessus Jammin'' (Ellie Jay,
EJSP-9710), at Spaceward Studios in Cambridge in 1981 - so he may well have been
a member of that expatriate community. Thanks to Nicholas Hough for
providing a scan.
