RECORDS
Independent label: Started by musician/composer/arranger/director Les Reed, Chapter One was one of the Decca group of labels. It started off in 1968, with March Hare's single, 'Cry My Heart' (CH-101). As far as the singles market is concerned, the company's big success was singer Gerry Monroe, who had six Top 50 hits in 1970-71. Chapter One tended to lean in the direction of Easy Listening material; it did however boast a Progressive Music offshoot, the Greenwich Gramophone Company. Singles used a CH-100 numbering series; an initial green design gave way to a multicoloured one 1970, which in turn was replaced by a plain plum-coloured one in December 1971, at CH-157. There don't appear to have been any Chapter One singles released after 1973, by which time the numbers had reached CH-189. No Chapter One records were listed in the Decca catalogue for 1977, unless you count a Woods Band LP on Greenwich; and by the time of the 1978 catalogue that, too, had disappeared. Thank to Robert Lyons for the info. Manufactured And Distributed By Decca Records.
