A.U.E.W
The label of the
Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers. Obviously the A.U.E.W.'s main
buisness lay elsewhere, but it was responsible for the appearance of a
single, 'We Are The Engineers' b/w 'I'm Gonna Be An Engineer' by Ewan
MacColl and Peggy Seeger. The catalogue number of that record was AUEW-1,
logically enough, and pressing was by Pye. There's no date on the labels
but the picture sleeve states that the issue was 'An A.U.E.W. contribution to
International Womens Year', which allows us to pin it down to 1975.
