SIMON
Simon seems to have been a rather
here-today-gone-tomorrow kind of concern. It issued at least two
records, both by actor Trevor Chance: a single, 'Love Is' (SRC-001; 2/79), and
an album of the same title (SIMONLP-1). Chance had recorded for GL
Records (qv), an affiliate of RCA, earlier in the decade; presumably the Simon
label was a DIY venture, intended as an alternative outlet for his
recordings. It's quite an attractive design for a DIY label: simple,
but striking. The company was based in Rochdale, and distribution was
by Wynd Up.
