Grahame Maclean appears to have been a Club / Cabaret artist. As did many other performers on the circuit, he financed recordings of his tracks and had them put on vinyl, presumably for sale at his gigs. Between 1979 and 1981 he produced three EPs, one in each year. The first of them didn't have any obvious label identity, though it did have a picture of a spider in a red triangle - thanks to Hawkmarty of the 45Cat site for permission to use his scan here. Its catalogue number was 1001-GM, and as well as the tracks shown on the scan it provided versions of 'American Trilogy' and 'Didn't We'. 1980's offering included 'Miracle', 'One Voice', Fantasy' and 'Celebration'. That EP had a more conventional number, GM-101, and it had a grey label on which the spider and the triangle were replaced by Maclean's name in a large font at the top. That same layout served for 1981's EP, but the label colour turned from grey to red. The tracks on that record were 'Send In The Clowns', 'Even Now', 'Trilogy' and 'Just The Way You Are'. It was numbered GM-102, and it was made through Aerco (q.v.) of Woking, which suggests that Maclean may have been from that part of the country.
