SRW



SRW appears to have been a small independent concern run by organ enthusiasts.  It issued at least two records, both of which were made through custom recording concern Deroy Records, of Carnforth, Lancashire.  A single featuring music played by Bob Miller's 110 Key Gavioli Fair Organ, 'Weep No More My Ladies' b/w 'Lights Out March', was the earliest of the two.  It had a catalogue number of 001 and a matrix number of DEROY-975, which suggests a year of release of 1973-74.  An EP by Roy Bingham at the 'M' Ranch Wurlitzer Theatre Organ (002 / DEROY-983) followed shortly after, and contained the tracks ' Julian', 'Manhattan', 'By The Fireside' and 'All In The April Evening'.  As can be seen from the scan, the layout of the label bears a strong resemblance to that used by RCA for their LPs.  Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing the label to my attention.
