STAFEX
Slightly borderline, this one, as I'm not sure that the
record on it was intended for sale in its own right. Stafex appears to
have been a manufacturer of greeting cards - it underwent a name
change to Linden Cards eventually - so it may well be that 'Eighteen'
b/w 'Happy Birthday' by Lily And Louisa was packaged in with a birthday card, as
a novelty. Its catalogue / matrix number was LYN-2126, which indicates
that pressing was by Lyntone and confirms that copyright year given on
the label, 1970, is the one in which the record was made. The 'B' side
label was white with red printing. Thanks to Nicholas Hough for drawing
the label to my attention and for supplying the scan.
