A unique label - at least, as far as this site is concerned - in that its records were all in the Esperanto language. Krea Sono ('Creative Sound' in Esperanto) was owned and run by Jim West, of Falkirk, and was a successor to his 'West' label (q.v.). It issued four records, all of which were by prominent Esperantist William Auld and / or Margaret Hill. There were two 7" EPs, both from 1972: Auld's 'Poems' (CSA-106) and Hill's 'British Folksongs' (CSA-107). They were followed by Hill's 'Kantant Mia Bird' LP (CSA-1108), and finally by an Auld / Hill joint LP, 'Songs And Poems Of Robert Burns' (CSA-1109), which came out in 1976. The CSA-100 numbering followed on from that which had been used by records on the West label. Thanks to Jim West for letting me know about the label, and for providing all the information about it that this page contains, as well as providing the scan. Full details of Krea Sono's releases can be found on Jim's website.
