The My Generation Guide To UK Record labels 1962-1974

Here is what I hope will become the definitive resource on the net for collectors and dealers in UK produced vinyl albums during probably the best era for pop music there has been.

I'm sure there will always be labels or information about labels that needs changing or adding so if you have any further information please email me at my.generation@zetnet.co.uk


The Major Minor Record Label

A small label started in 1966 by Them's manager Phil Solomon, who shrewdly also invested in pirate radio station Radio Caroline at the same time.

Best remembered for picking up on Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg's Je T'aime after Fontana had withdrawn it, it gained a no.1 single and plenty of publicity. Now if only Brigit Bardot had allowed Gainsbourg to release the original - recorded with her instead of Jane Birkin!

Major artists - Tommy James and The Shondells, Johnny Nash, Malcolm Roberts and a dubious record by Pat Campbell!
