QUEST

 

The label of Quest Studios of Luton.  Quest seems to been a custom recording concern.   Catalogue numbers seem to be divided into two separate blocks.  Initially they seem to have been in the PPS-000s, reaching at least PPS-009 in 1977.  Then from 1979 came a BRS-000 series.  Not all of the records came out on the actual Quest label.  Those which I have managed to trace are shown in the partial discography, below; as can be seen, there are a lot of gaps.  There are some interesting items: from the first block, 'Don't Wanna Fight' by Andy Watts & Cobra seems to go for reasonable prices, while first out of the BRS-000s was 'Working For The Corporation' by Tins (BRS-001), which has been described as 'Clash-style Reggae'.  Collectors of NWOBHM might be interested in the singles by Clientele and by Toad The Wet Sprocket.  The latter came out on the Sprockets label (q.v.), while BRS-002 was a Various Punk Artists EP on the Pink label (q.v.).  Thanks to Nicholas Hough for the first scan, and to Steve Mitchell for the second.
