PROFILE
The label of Profile Recording Studios, of Wheathampstead,
St. Albans. Profile was run by Steve Kendall and was the
successor to his 'Clementswood', 'Capri' and 'Roundabout' (q.v.) labels. It operated from 1973-c.80, and
issued more than seventy records, which were numbered in a GMOR-100
(or sometimes GMOR-000) series. The few examples that
I have seen featured Christian music of
the Folkier sort. The company appears to have concentrated on LPs, most
of which are collectable nowadays, but it managed at least three
EPs. As well as the Various Artists EP shown above
(GMOR-129; 1976) there was one by the Broadcast Outsiders, 'A.B.O.E.P.' (GMOR-154; 1978), and
an anonymous artists one featuring 'The Covenanter Chorus', 'Juco Chorus' and a talk
entitled 'Consecrated Fellowship' (GMOR-111; 1974). It
also issued at least one EP on a Welsh-language version of the label,
Cernlun (q.v.). Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan, and for bringing the
label to my attention.
