PRINCE

 

A DIY label; a vehicle for the singing of Eric Prince.  The only single I have seen on the Prince label is the one shown above, 'She' b/w 'Solitaire' (HP-46; 1975), though there were also a couple of self-financed albums later in the decade: 'The Admirable Mr. Prince' (IS/EP/118) and 'The Truly Wonderful Mr. Prince' (PR-79; 1979) - full marks for chutzpah, giving the records titles such as those.  The 'HP' prefix of the single indicates a Stag Music (q.v.) recording, and pressing was by Phonodisc.  It must have run to a couple of pressings, if the two differently coloured labels are any guide.  The tracks on it are typical Club / Cabaret fare, and are delivered in a pleasant warm voice.
