I've been doing some research on private press records from Scotland (as evidenced by an earlier thread!) and have come across 2 custom pressing plants from Edinburgh where I can only identify a small number of records each and was wondering if anyone on here can fill in any blanks from their own collections/knowledge.
The first pressing plant was Craighall Studios active in the 1960s. The singles pressed there mostly seem to have the prefix 'PR' and the ones I have found are:
The Johnny Douglas Combo - Ski Jump 7" 1963 PR 1215
Athenians - You Tell Me 7" 1963 PR 1225
Sabres (Scotland) - Little Latin Lupe Lu 7" 1963 PR 1230
Hammy and the Hamsters - My Dream Came True 7" 1964 PR 1240
Old Bailey's Jazz Advocates - Sentence You to 4 Minutes of Jazz 7" PR 1306
Fabulous Red Hawks - Mods and Rockers TD 1579
Choir of Sancta Maria Abbey Nunraw - Introit PR 2109
The Size Seven Group - Crying My Heart Out 7" PR 5020
John Croall - It Won't Happen Again 7" PR 5026
Sol Byron and the Impacts - Pride and Joy 7" 1964 PR 5027
Concords - Don't Fool With Love PR 5107
The Boys - Lovers Walk PR 5190
Miss Russell-Ferguson - Ceol Clarsaich With Croon 7" 1964 PR 5313
Boston Dexters - Matchbox PR 5334
Shetland Fiddlers - Entertain PR 5363
Phil and the Flintstones - Love Potion No. 9 7" 1964 PR 5371
v/a St. Andrew's Charity EP 7" PR 5462
Clydebank Lyric Choir - 4 song 7" PR 6308
Unknown Artist - Mill Mill O 7" 1969 PR 6552
Alasdair Gillies - Pop Goes the Gaelic CIE 6703
Norman MacLean - The Bard Sings! CIE 6705
The Dunrobiners - Road to Kildonan 1970 PR 6753
Leith Academy Choir - Hallelujah Chorus 1970 PR 6812
Matt Black - Love Me Girl 1971 TD 6917
Mayfair - Silver Threads and Golden Needles 1977 TD 7225
Kruza - Movies in the Night 1977 CS 7246
Mannfolk - Folk on the Fringe 1977 CS 7252
Force Four - Walking Back to You 7" 1965
Worlocks - Love Potion No. 9 7"
Holybeats 7"
The second was Radio Edinburgh Limited (run by REL Records) which ran from the late 1970s through to the late 1980s as far as I can tell. They used three different prefixes of CPS for singles, CPEP for EPs and CPLP for LPs but all used the same number run. Again the ones I have traced are:
Bustop Lady of the Night 7" 1978 CPS-011
Bunion The Men on the Rigs 7" 1978 CPS-012
Deep End Begged and Borrowed LP 1978 CPLP-016
Dean and Dawn Proud of Our City 7" 1978 CPS-018
Joan Balfour Sir Harry Lauder 7" 1979 CPS-024
Red Letters Sacred Voices 7" 1979 CPS-025
Glory Hunter Thoughts of Destiny 7" 1979 CPS-027
Nashville Skyline Country Cound at the Coach 7" 1980 CPEP-030
DNA Shock Rock 7" 1980 CPEP-032
Those Intrinsic Intellectuals Radio Iceland 7" 1980 CPS-040
Catalist - Dear Lynne 7" 1981 CPS-057
Lothian Airs Our Blend LP 1982 CPLP-059
Graeme Montgomery All Night 7" 1981 CPS-063
Mark Taylor Tribute to Art Tatum LP 1983 CPLP-070
Dundee United Squad - It's United 7" CPS-076
Gear (AKA Stingrays) Footprints 7" 1987 CPS-097
