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.
