Another one of those cases where I can do little more than note the existence of a label and provide a scan. Force was responsible for at least one record, an EP by a band called The Nights Show Group. In addition to the tracks shown on the scan above, the EP offered versions of 'Girl I Left In The Rain' - a David Gates song - and 'High Heeled Sneakers'. Its catalogue number, SRS-7089, was taken from a series that was used by custom recording firm Studio Republic (q.v.). There's no date on the record but comparison with other Studio Republic numbers enables us to say that it's from 1970 or 1971, with the latter being more likely. The pressing marks are typical of those which can be found on Linguaphone products of the time, and the songs are Club / Pub / Cabaret material with saxophone or flute adding a distinctive touch. The presence of the EMI-style 'Demo Record Not For Sale' text is puzzling: it's difficult to imagine such an obscure record existing in both demo and issue forms - was the EP was intended solely as a promotional tool? Any more information about the band or the label would be welcome
