SMILE
(LAFS prefix)
This particular Smile label came from Wakefield, and was run in
co-operation between the Record Bar shop and musician Bill Nelson. It
issued only two records, both of which were by Nelson / Be-Bop Deluxe: an LP
entitled, 'Northern Dream' (1971), and a single, 'Teenage Archangel' (LAFS-001;
1973). When Nelson moved on to EMI's Harvest label, in 1974, Smile
was shelved, as far as new material was concerned; though the album underwent
numerous re-pressings. Thanks to Mike Dear for the label scan.
