TRANSDISC

 

Transdisc appears to have been owned by Emile Ford: the only records that I have seen listed as being on the label were all by him, and his picture was on at least three of the labels.  The numbering system that it employed was something of a puzzle, and many numbers appear not to have been used.  TR-1 was used for two different singles, 'Red Red Wine' in 1980, and 'You Can Feel It' in 1983 - the latter was a picture disc.  TR-7, 'How Can I Live Without You', seems to have pre-dated both of them, coming out in 1979; it was manufactured by Orlake.  TR-8 was a song celebrating the royal wedding, and dates from 1982; it featured The Allisons as well as Emile Ford, and had a white label of a plainer design, without a picture.  It looks as though Transdisc didn't survive for long after the picture disc single.  There were also a couple of albums, which are in brackets in the discography below.  See also 'Alpha'.
