CAMBRIAN
RECORDS
A Welsh-language label,
independent for much of its life but listed as part of the Decca group of
companies from November 1974 until the end of its existence. Cambrian
Recordings Ltd Former Address: 5 Uplands Road, Pontardawe, Swansea SA8 4AH, and
Cambrian Recordings Ltd. 18 High Street Pontardawe Swansea. Cambrian
appears to have issued records from c.1967-75, though several of its releases
were still listed in the Decca Main Catalogue for 1977; its main claim to fame
as far as people outside Wales are concerned is that it put out two early Welsh
language singles by Mary Hopkin, who had had a No.1 hit, 'Those Were The Days',
in 1968, on the Beatles' Apple label. Cambrian labels came in at least four
different colours, black, blue, yellow and red, though the basic design remained
much the same. The company sleeve opens at the right-hand
side. Numbering was in the CSP-700s for singles, and the CEP-400s for
EPs. Much of the company's output seems to have consisted of Folk or
Choral songs, usually in the Welsh language, though the Keith Gordon single
'Myfanwy' (CSP-744) is, surprisingly, Trad Jazz. The discography
below is incomplete, Thanks to Robert Lyons for the
info. Manufactured And Distributed By Decca
