G & G ELECTRONICS

 

The label of the G&G Electronics music shop and studios, of 26 James Street, Garston, Liverpool 19.  The man behind the studio, and presumably the label, was musician Tony Gaskell.  To judge by the only example of its products that I have ever seen, an EP by The Blacks featuring 'Then I Kissed Her' and several other tracks (G/G-1114; 1975), G&G appears to have been a custom recording company.  The catalogue number of that EP suggests that there should be at least thirteen other G&G records out there, but, unsurprisingly, googling hasn't revealed any of them.  Local Country music label C.M.P. (q.v.) made at least a couple of EPs through G&G, using similar catalogue numbers.  Pressing of the Blacks EP was by Phonodisc; it ran to at least two pressings, and came in two different colours - I would guess that the first pressing was the red one, which had to have the '33' rpm handwritten on it.   Thanks to Robert Bowes for bringing the label to my attention and supplying the red scan.
