SRS



The record label of Sound Recording Services, of Bath.  SRS seems to have been a custom recording concern.  Its albums, EPs and singles were all numbered in the SRS-2100s. The SRS EP shown above, Shag Connors's 'Nagging Woman' (SRS-2105; 1979) had no company name or logo on it: it was identifiable only by its catalogue number.  Other SRS records would appear to have been equally self-effacing.  The Shag Connors EP was pressed in France, and had an injection-moulded metallic-pink label; at least two other SRSes - 2106, Touch Of Country's 'For The Good Times' LP, and 2107, Felicity Haze's 'It's been A Great Afternoon' single - were pressed there as well.  The Touch Of Country LP came out on the 'Vale' label.  There don't seem to have been many SRSes.  They were issued from 1978 until at least 1980, and the highest number I have so far been able to trace is that of the Felicity Haze single mentioned above, SRS-2107.  The is one minor collectable on the label: a single by New Wave band Moskow, 'Man From Uncle' (SRS-2103, 1978), which came out on the 'Moskow' label (q.v.) and which was reissued on Rialto Records (TREB-107; 8/79).
