One of those sad cases where all that I can do is note the existence of a record; though in this case, by kind permission of Landfill Dave of the 45cat site, I can at least supply a scan. Philron was a real DIY job, in that the labels were hand-made and were pasted on to blanks. It appears to have managed just the one release, 'It Shouldn't Have Happened' b/w 'I'll Give You Love' by Rendezvous. The songwriter was Phil Hills, so presumably he was the 'Phil' of 'Philron'; who the 'Ron' was remains a mystery. The record would seem to have been made through a company called ADR, which is equally mysterious - perhaps it was one of those firms which offered custom recording and tape-to-disc services. The catalogue / matrix number is ADR SP-0019, which suggests that there should be other ADRs out there, perhaps another eighteen of them; but it's likely that they were made in very small quantities. The year of issue was 1971. Needless to say, any more information would be welcome. Thanks to Klepsie of the 45cat site for bringing the intriguing Philron label to my attention.
