VALLEY (2)
The second Valley label of the 1970s appears to have been
a self-financed effort by '60s hitmaker Ricky Valance. The only
record on the label that I have been able to trace is an EP featuring 'Love
Hurts' and three other tracks - including another version of 'Tell Laura I Love
Her'. The catalogue number was VLY-001, and it came out in
1976. The layout of the label and the appearance of the word 'Pollen'
on the label indicate that the studio responsible for the recording was Pollen
Studios, of Haxby, Yorkshire. Thanks to Robert Bowes for bringing the
label to my attention and for providing the scan.
