CLEVELAND



The Cleveland label appears to have hosted just one record, a solitary single by Folk group the Tees-Side Fettlers - usually known as the 'Teesside Fettlers'.  It came out in 1975 and it featured the tracks 'Cleveland County' and 'Build It Up (In Cleveland)'.  The two songs had finished first and second in a local song competition, and the record was funded by Cleveland County Council, the name of which appears in the credits at the bottom of the label.  The text on the back of the picture sleeve suggests that the single was used as a promotional device to inspire local pride or promote the image of the county.  The matrix / catalogue number in the run-off was CC-1338, and the style of it indicates that pressing was done by RCA.
