A small independent label. The only 7" release on Pierhead seems to have been 'There Goes That Smile' b/w 'King Of The World Of Love' by Colin Baldwin. It had a catalogue number of PML-101 and it came out in 1976. Pressing was by Lyntone; the matrix numbers were LYN-3589 and 3590. There was also at least one LP, 'A Portrait Of Sid Slater' (PH-360 / 1), which was also from 1976. The LP was sponsored by instrument retailers Hodges & Johnson, who had shops in Southend-on-Sea and Westcliff-on-Sea, so it seems likely that Pierhead was from that area. Colin Baldwin had recorded previously for A&M; he went on to make a single for Gold Records (q.v.) in 1979.
