I don't know if Procaudio counts as an actual label, but from 1966 into the early '70s Procaudio Ltd appears to have produced records for other companies, for sale or distribution by them. Numbering was in the PC-000s, with both sides of a record having their own discrete number. On the few examples I have seen the only reference to Procaudio has been on the sleeves, not the labels; the PC-000 numbering is the thing to look out for. The first example above, 'Animal Sounds - Mammals' (PC-043 / 044), with an introduction by Peter Scott, was made for Purnell's Encyclopedia of Animal Life and the Macdonald Junior Reference Library to accompany a book of the same title. I found the record in a charity shop, minus the book - for some unfathomable reason it hasn't been played to death. It was part of a series which came out in 1970; details are available on the Macdonalds Junior Reference Library page. The second example was made for Double-S Productions (q.v.). Other labels from the '70s with a PC-000 number were Craigie College Language Project, Career and George Philip & Son (q.v. all). Procaudio was responsible for producing flexi-discs as well as vinyl ones. The few Procaudios I have seen in the vinyl have either had the metalwork done by Pye or have been actual Pye pressings. As can be seen, the discography below has more gaps than entries.
