Sol-Doon was a joint venture between producers Paddy Doolan, Roger Mealey and Peter Vernon-Kell, in association with manager / publicist Colin Slater. It issued some twenty-five singles, in an SDR-022 numerical series, during 1975-77. None of them were hits, and none are commonly met-with nowadays; Threshold's 'Friday On My Mind' (SDR-011; 8/76) seems to have been the best seller. A look at its catalogue suggests that the label didn't focus on any particular kind of music. Manufacture and distribution were by Pye; as a result Sol-Doons usually look wine-red when held up to the light. Vernon-Kell launched his PVK label (q.v.) in December 1976, which suggests that he may have left Sol-Doon by that point. Thanks to Klepsie of the 45cat site for the ownership information.
